I am a middle school art teacher and have recently bought 12 of these for my classroom. I received an assortment of the blue sharpeners pictured as well as a pale gray sharpeners. The sharpeners have a nice design. My students also regularly use them to sharpen their charcoal pencils, pastels, colored pencils, and drawing pencils, and they seem to be holding up really well so far!

We were looking for a single hole with a receptacle to catch the shavings and this was the best one for the price. It cost a bit more than another one we purchased and now we see it is made better. The lid screws off and on so it won't just fall off, the sharpener is not plastic so it is stronger and not inferiror. It is a bit larger yet not too big to keep handy. I will buy these Helix sharpeners for our colouring book sets again for The Swedish Flicka!

This sharpener makes a nice point. That is the bottom line. It is obvious that the blades are very sharp and much easier to use than other manual sharpeners that I have tried. It remains to be see whether or not the blades will hold up for an extended period of use.

I have purchased different sharpeners for my tutorial kits. This little thing does a remarkable job pointing a pencil. I also like the fact that the lid screws on and off... much nicer than a friction fit. Best hand sharpener I have found.

I use these pencil sharpeners in my art classroom. They are great for students because they can keep it in their hands safely and at their desk and not worry about them getting up and sharpening a pencil. The only problem I have noticed with them so far is that the lead breaks off easily as they are sharpening their pencil and the lead gets stuck in the blade and I have to set there and try and dig it out.

Great value--I use a new one with every drawing.

When the pencils in the Art Studio classroom get too short for the electric sharpeners, these little sharpeners do the trick! Some students simply prefer a shorter pencil, so the sharpeners are handy for them as well. Not to mention, for those of us who hate to get up from a chair to sharpen a pencil- lest we distract ourselves from making art- these little sharpeners do the trick again! I think they are just great, and so do my students.

This is a cheap sharpener that does't work well with 9H pencils. The leads break now after the first few goes at sharpening. This was cheaply priced and you get what you pay for.
