Long Point Sharpeners - Pack of 20

You could spend this much for one German made sharpener and not get as fine a long point. Getting a pack of 20 is a bargain. The blades are sharp and perform well. I have no doubt the blades will not hold their edge as long, but at this price who cares.

Don't know why I need 20 of these but that's the package they come in and it's a cheap buy. They do what they promise and you get an extra long point on your pencil. The downside is they'll chew up your pencil faster. I wouldn't use on anything softer than HB.

So far these have been amazing. I was hesitant to try this sharpener on a nicer pencil even though they came highly recommended (by someone who uses them on Blackwing 602's). So I tried it on a pencil I don't really like, a WOPEX pencil, and I got a long ribbon curl with the WOPEX! No other pencil sharpener I have can do that! Usually what I get is a mess of small chips. I then tried it on a Steadler Norica and the curl off that would make Norm Abram excited (old reference). Then I tried it on a brand new Tombow Mono100 and it sharpened that pencil like a dream! The point is perfect, it looks like it was sharpened by a wall mounted sharpener, not dinky piece of plastic hand held sharpener, and the point isn't like the usual hand held sharpener shard of broken glass point that most of them produce, this is a bonafide point (I got this point on all three pencils I sharpened, the WOPEX, the Norica, and the Mono100). The plastic housing is cheap, there's no way to be nice about that. The whole sharpener screams cheap and it's so light and rather small, but it does what it's supposed to do, very well. In fact the whole box of 20 sharpeners was a bit surprising on how small it was. These would make great little gifts to someone who like pencils, especially once they have tried it because they will want more.

Works great on all of my pencils and is VERY good for the price. 50 cents for a sharpener, and they last me about a month. Would definitely recommend!

Works well. Very light, very cheap (hence the box). Sharp blades, but cuts roughly - it takes a bit more time to get an even cut compared to the Blackwing, Kum, etc. Here’s a few shots how it compares to the Blackwing single stage and my personal favorite, the Mitsubishi KH-20. Pencil is my favorite: Tombow 2558 “B”. Overall, my favorite portable sharpener. Much cheaper and easier to carry than the Blackwing (what I’m using now as a portable sharpener).

I've used about 10 of the 20. Of those 10, I have had to throw away 4 or 5 after using for just a few colored pencils. The problem is that they do not give a long point, as advertised. The problem exists regardless of the brand of colored pencil . I throw them away rather than have to adjust my technique to having only a short and not sharp point. About half of those I have tried work great and for a reasonable amount of sharpenings. I will not be buying again because of this problem. Even for half the sharpeners, the price is OK, but the hassle makes it not worth the purchase.

I enjoy creating cards, bookmarks, illustrations etc. with various inks and colored pencils. I have broken countless leads in colored pencils and have never attained a sharp point until now. I love these little sharpeners. The only con is you have to catch your shavings on paper or into the trash can instead of the sharpener being part of a self contained holder. It would also be nice not to have to buy so many.

These sharpeners make excellent long tips on my Mitsu-Bishi Hi Uni 2B pencils The point is sturdy and smoothly sharpened. There is no cover to the sharpener but it makes it easier to tap out shavings caught on the blade. I just sharpen over a tissue and then throw the tissue away when I’m finished writing. I’ve been using one sharpener for a couple weeks and have gone through two pencils and the sharpener is not dull.

They don't last too long as they are for the softer wood of Indian pencils, cedar wood tends to dull them quite quickly, but they do have the best longpoint I've ever used. Also excellent value. Also great custoner service from Inpro Stationery

spitzeste Bleistifte ever!

These little plastic numbers are amazing. They produce a long point similar to burr grinders like Exacto but in a little manual form factor. The blades are super sharp and have worked well for all the wood types I've tried so far. My experience with plastic bargain sharpeners has always been poor and I can't yet comment on how many jobs these blades will do before they dull, but for this price and at this quantity I think I'll be OK if I only get a few dozen sharpens each. Note that these ship direct from India so took a while and the package came a little worse for wear, but the contents were fine.

Just what I ordered. The sharpeners create a really good long point, come in different colours and are now my favourite. I carry them everywhere

Good
