Derwent Twin Hole Pencil Sharpener with Container, Double Hole Sharpener for Artist Sketching Pencils & Colouring Pencils, Two Hole Sizes 11.5 & 8.25mm, Strong Metal Pencil Sharpeners, Black, 2306123

A lightweight sharpener with two size options. Very sharp blades. Holds a reasonable amount of shavings and easy to open and empty. Achieves a long, needle- like point on your pencils, ideal for fine detailed work. Good value.

You wouldn’t think a sharpener could be so good! Or any different from any other sharpener (as I did) but honestly, this is the best pencil sharpener I’ve ever used! I’m an artist, I’ve used many many over the years, and this one is hands above any of the others! It sharpens into that ‘brand new point’, every time, old pencils are brand new again with that particular angled point. I’m excited to sharpen pencils now! Yes I’m obviously getting old when such a thing brings joy, lol, but what can I say, new sharp pencils are a delight to any artist! It was a tad difficult to get out at first, to empty, but once you’ve done it once then it’s easier thereafter. Compact with a flip lid and 2 sizes to accommodate most if not all of your pencils. I love it and definitely recommend it, you’ll see what I mean about the new pencil points! So if your thinking about it, get it!..you won’t be disappointed:)

The blades are sharp and it works well with both standard and thicker pencils. However, it is quite hard to empty the sharpener. I found that placing it flat on the table and then pulling from both sides is easier (see photo for reference). Personally, I would not pay full price for it, but it is good value when discounted. I bought this when it was on offer for £3.85, which I think is a fair price.

Great little pencil sharpener, nest, tidy and stylish

Sharpens very well. Easy to use.

Disappointed. It keeps breaking my charcoal pencil and watercolours.

It’s a good pencil sharpener , I use it for watercolour pencils . The only downside about it is I think it’s fiddly when emptying it . Maybe it’s me but getting the two sections apart I spill some of the contents sometimes . However I like that it is efficient and does not break the point of the pencils / crayons .

Works well , had to see a video to see how to empty it ! Maybe I was a bit tired lol

طريقه فتحها لتنظيفها صعبه جدا لدرجه ان كسرها افضل لتنظيف الحاويه

This pencil sharpener does an excellent job of sharpening the slightly bigger barrels of Derwent Colorsoft colored pencils!! I was struggling to sharpening the Derwent pencils in the various sharpener that I use (A regular manual or battery sharpener, Faber-Castell sharpener, Prismacolor sharpener, and a Stampin up sharpener) because the Derwent pencil barrel is slightly larger it either wouldn't fit or it was extremely snug. I finally gave up trying to sharpen them as I was getting a blister trying. So I looked up if Derwent had a sharpener and ordered it (I had done this with my Prismacolors as they would break easily in a normal sharpener, so got Prismacolor sharpener which works great!). This Derwent sharpener works like a dream for my Derwents!!! Totally recommended this sharpener! I haven't tried using it with any other pencil brands I have, just solely for the Derwents. 🙂

Super guter Spitzer. Bleibt scharf

Très bon taille crayon à bon prix. J'aime le capuchon qui évite de mettre de la poussière de graphite dans mon plumier.
