Do the pencil shavings come out the opening if you put this in a backpack without emptying it first? I'm tired of cleaning messy backpacks. Thanks!

The top is unlikely to come free, and it traps the shavings more than enough to keep your backpack shavings free. But I'd never trust it to completely trap all the graphite dust, which could contaminate new bundles of counterfeit bills or other paper you needed to keep pristine. It would probably be ok if you just carried around a severed head.

Staedtler is a German drafting supply company. They have had the highest quality precision products forever. I used these in college 25 years ago and just ordered two more for my kids to use. I'm a graphic artist, their mechanical pencils and other items such as compasses and calipers are the best quality you will find. I have items from my dad he used in college in the 50's made by Staedtler my son is now using in school. The best barnone!

Is this one sharpener or two? There is an identical item on Amazon for 3.91, but it says in the title "1 item" and this title says "sharpeners."

I selected the 2 pack, but received two different types of sharpeners. 1 was the metal product shown in the picture and the other was a plastic snap on lid.

Will this work on the larger primary pencils?

No, nor will it work with Dixon's Tri-Conderoga's or similar triangular pencils.
