‎Prismacolor Premier Pencil Sharpener

Love the pencil sharpener itself. Works great with all the pencils, color pencils, and charcoal that I’ve thrown at it thus far.The only drawback I have experienced is the opening process. I made myself feel completely incompetent and then looked up a video on how to open it. The process is so simple once you know the “trick”, just wish the packaging would have shown how with a couple of pictures.Hint: Just push up with your thumb on the arrow. Do not take the back off. If all else fails check for videos.

I draw with Prismacolor pencils which are top of the line and very expensive. Those qualities make having a top knothole sharpener a big priority. The blades down in there are plenty sharp and you have 2 choices of the kind of point you want. It collects the shavings without fail and is easy to empty when the time comes. It works well with Prismacolor pencils for which it was designed and, no doubt, serves well with other brands too.

best pencil sharpener i swear!! most sharpeners will crack my prismacolor pencils but this one doesn’t i mean it’s by the same brand but still, this one also works really well with all my other soft core pencils

Its a little confusing at first on how to empty it but once you know how its easy. It sharpens really good and the price is very good. Works great love it

I like this sharpener very much, and have bought several over time. My only complaint is that the way it presses together to hold the sharpener to the barrel that holds the shavings over time gets less secure–always seems that when they get older I end up dropping it and it comes apart spilling my shavings! Works fine if I don’t accidentally drop it, though.

Sharpens great. I use the same brand colored pencils and it works as intended. Worth the purchase.

This is a great little sharpener. I love that the actual sharpener is metal because the plastic ones seem to break so easily and can also be pushed into the container. I do not see that happening with this one. I also have had no problems with the tip of any pencil getting stuck in the sharpener, as has happened with the plastic ones. I haven’t had it long, so I will update if for some reason it turns out I was wrong. So far though, I highly recommend!

This is the first sharpener that has actually sharpened my colored pencils. I get a nice sharp point. I have tried many sharpeners some name brands at a much higher price & they all have just destroyed my pencils.

Love the two options for sharpening. Prisms always delivers world class products

I decided to get this sharpener because it was prisma color brand but also I’m tired of my color pencil point breaking. Now I really enjoy the fact that there are two different results in sharpening the pencil and also how quick and sharp the color pencil sharpens. I also appreciate how it’s not messy because it keeps all the trash inside. Quality is great and great price !

This hasn’t jammed up or stopped working like my little trusty metal sharpeners, or my electric sharpener. Works on all my pencils so far.

This sharpener provides the very sharp point needed for details in colored pencil drawings with very little breakage.

Certainly solves the problems noted by reviewers using regular sharpeners on prismacolor pencils. Hopefully it maintains a good edge for a good while. That would make me feel that I got value for the money because it’s pretty expensive for a pencil sharpener.

I was skeptical about how powerful this sharpener would work. But was pleasantly surprised that it sharpens beautifully with all of my colored pencils. Yay! I would highly recommend! A great alternative from purchasing an electric pencil sharpener. Money well spent! :))

I have needed a good sharpener for my graphite, colored and pastel pencils. This does great with graphite and colored pencils, probably the best I’ve had. It is very good with pastel pencils. I have also used it with charcoal pencils and, while not fantastic, it is better than any other sharpener I’ve tried. I recommend buying it.

I kept trying different sharpeners and they never seems to work so I finally caved and ordered this one! It works fast and gives the perfect tip. The two different tip options makes it perfect for whatever you are trying to color. Love it!

My dad colors A LOT. He has Alzheimer’s and it’s one of the few activities that keeps his interest and I spend a lot of time sharpening color pencils. Before we got this sharper we had we had the Bostitch Twist & Sharp. It was terrible. Pencils constantly broke or just wouldn’t sharpen right. After dealing with that I kept my sharpener expectations somewhat low. The Prismacolor Premier Sharpener sharpens quickly and easily though, and the pencils sharpen good as new!

After struggling with other sharpeners, I did some research and ordered the Prismacolor. It was perfect! You can twist just once or twice to sharpen your colored pencils or several times for a really sharp point. There are two holes for different widths of sharp. I thought it was overkill until I tried it. One thing I’d suggest…it is rather tight and hard to open the first time so do it once before it is full of shavings. There are no directions on how to open it. Look for the little dip in the top of the sharpener and use your thumb to push top up. I had to search online for how to open it.

Perfect size! Perfect well for shavings, not having to empty too quick. The sharpeners within work perfect and are precise. I’m glad I splurged on this sharpener for my adult coloring book kit.Would highly recommend.
