Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencil Sharpener-Black

Excellent sharpener. Works wonders with the prismacolor pencils. So far no breakage.

Great sharpener for prisma colour pencils

I held off buying this pencil sharpener, despite buying the 150 tin of Prismacolor pencils, because I already had numerous pencil sharpeners. Plus, forking out another £7 or so for something I didn’t entirely need couldn’t be justified at that time. I soon discovered that Prismacolor pencils, as well as being absolutely awesome for colouring, are an absolute pain in the butt for sharpening. Shortly afterwards I moved and they were stuffed in the back of a cupboard and forgotten about for 4 years. I recently rediscovered my pencils - and how difficult they are to sharpen without breakage. I figured that surely the same brand of sharpener would sharpen them properly and, you know what? It does! Those of you who own Prismacolor pencils have probably already discovered for yourselves that some pigments are more delicate than others (We’re looking at you, reds and oranges) so tend to break every time they’re sharpened. This pencil sharpener remedied that for me - since buying it, all of my Prismacolor pencils have sharpened without breakages. This pencil sharpener has two holes for sharpening. One of these gives you a traditional, long, sharp point & the other: a short, blunter point like the type the pencils come with. Using the second of the two holes should resolve all your Prismacolor sharpening breakages - it has for me. In short, if you’re going to be investing in a set of Prismacolor Premier pencils buying this sharpener is a no brainier. Not if you’re wanting to enjoy using them rather than sharpening a large proportion of them into the bin! I wish I’d realised this years ago - I would have saved myself a lot of frustration!

I bought this sharpener in 2017 for my prismacolor pencils and I ended up using it with other pencils too. I highly recommend youtube videos on how to use this sharpener correctly.At first, the tips of several pencils cracked, because I didn't used the sharpener correctly and I wasn't very careful with the pencils either(I dropped them a few times). A few months ago,the sharpener has cracked in three places but it's still in good condition and I consider that it had a long life. At first it seems like it's just an ordinary, childish sharpener but don't be fooled.

Like many others, I suspect, I've tried a number of sharpeners with my Prismacolor pencils. After all, a sharpener is a sharpener, right? Well no, not when it comes to Prismacolors. The core is too soft for the battery/mains operated sharpener I use with my polychromos and Caran D'Ache pencils, so I've built up quite a collection of manual sharpeners in search of 'The Best" for the Prismas. Most of them can give a good point but there's a fair bit of effort involved as the wood casing catches easily on the blades. I really didn't expect this sharpener to be any different, even though it's marketed as being the one to use with Prismacolors, so I held out against buying it until a few days ago. All I can say is, using it with these pencils has been a revelation. The blades cut through the casings cleanly, with little catching, and nowhere near as many turns (of pencil or sharpener, depending on how you sharpen your pencils) are needed as with the other manual sharpeners I've tried. I won't be using this with my polychromos or Caran D'Ache pencils because I've got other sharpeners - especially the battery/mains operated one - which do an excellent job on them. This sharpener will be used exclusively with the pencils for which it was designed - Prismacolors - because in the long run I can see it saving money since it sharpens the Prismas so smoothly and cleanly.

Love it

This sharpener actually works, don’t know how many sharpeners I own that have promised but never delivered on performance. Tried it on different makes of pencils before plucking up the courage to try it on the few prismsacolour I own and the dreaded Derwent pastels pencils which are almost impossible to sharpen without breaking. But not anymore, not one pencil broken in the sharpener… I’m most impressed, would definitely recommend this sharpener especially for the two difficult delinquent brands to sharpen. Only one small gripe, the top is awkward to get off and on again when it needs emptying. I’m going to put a line on it is it make it easier to line up when the top is put back on.

Nice size. Trouble getting the lid back on after empying the contents. Attractive item. Worth putting up, if care is taken with patience.

Sharpens my prismacolor pencils very well, no more broken leads.

私は日本でカリスマカラーを愛用しておりますが、カリスマカラーはプリズマカラーと同一の芯を使って日本国内で加工された製品です。 ですから、プリズマカラーと同一の芯であるものをプリズマカラー純正の削り器で削れるということ自体がまず私にとってはうれしいことです。 サイズ感としては初めて見たとき「やや大きいかな？」とも思ったのですが、すぐ気にならなくなりました。むしろ削りカスが多く入るということで利点のように感じています。 そもそも鉛筆削り器というものは消耗品であって、刃の切れ味が悪くなってきたら交換するものなのですが、私はこの削り器が気に入ったので、刃が鈍くなったら外して刃を研いででも使い続けるでしょう。（刃はプラスのネジで止められています 買ってよかったと心から思いながら毎日使っています。 (20260504：追記) この削り器は通常の鉛筆はもちろん使えるのですが、カランダッシュルミナンス6901のような太軸（8ｍｍ）の色鉛筆も削ることができます。 鉛筆削り器は様々なものを試しましたが中でも本商品がもっとも鋭く削れます。ピンッピンの針のような仕上がりです。

Sharpener sharpens all pencils sharply without breaking, performs well as compared to the price paid. However, I cannot seem to pull the cover to empty the shavings.

This is one of those staples I always keep on hand. It's become a reliable part of my routine, and I find myself reaching for it time and time again. When something works this well, I don't feel the need to keep searching for alternatives. It's dependable, well-made, and consistently does exactly what I need it to. I've repurchased it without hesitation, which says more than anything else I could write. Sometimes the best products are the ones you stop thinking about because they simply work. This is one of them.
