Poor Design
It's an okay sharpener but there is no way to empty it. Not a good design.

Perfect for colored oencils
This sharpener cuts a shorter blunt tip as well as a long thin end. Perfect for the softer colored pencils very sturdy and ergonomic to hold.

Smooth and easy!
Smooth sharpening with two point options for a long or smaller point. Holds lots of shavings so you can sharpen a lot of pencils before you have to get up and empty it! I’ve used mine a lot and it still sharpens perfectly!

Good
I’ve had a few of these. I usually lose them, which is why I’d have to buy so many . If they break it’s usually the sharpers cap falling off. But it’s still usable. These are honestly really good sharpeners.

Prismacolor Premier’s Pencil Shapener
Love this little sharpener. Pop off the top to empty easily m. Great for traveling when an electric sharpener isn’t an option. Gives a nice point to each pencil!

Works well so far, lid seems a bit flimsy and unnecessary.

Sharp pencils
By far the best sharpener I have used. I color for a hobby and have tried many sharpeners and pencils. Prismacolor in all respects is superior.

Quality
Always wondered why my crayons pencils were not as good as when I first opened the box. You think Crayola would sell this sharpener. 5stars.

Brakes the colors
I personally didn’t like this pencil sharpener because it breaks easily the colors, it brakes the sharp point ver easily as well.
