Kutsuwa STAD Angle Adjustable Pencil Sharpener T'GAAL, Black (RS017BK)

Great pencil sharpener. Will give you a short point or a really long point.. just turn the dial. I recommend this sharpener to all of my artist friends.

Absolutely loving this budget friendly pencil sharpener. 5 adjustable point settings. Small & compact in size. The back case easily slides off to empty the used shavings.

Haven't had issue with my prisma colored pencil experiencing breakage with this sharpener or any odd areas being uneven which is something I've experienced with nearly every other sharpener ! I love the different modes it has which makes it so useful depending on what you're trying to do while also saving your colored pencil from waste from sharpening it. Not hard to use and it's so gentle with my pencils I think I'll be better off not needing a electric or more expensive one.

Can be a little difficult to pull down the small lever, kind of like the lobster claw clasp you find on necklaces; simple design, but can sometimes give you trouble. However, once you get the pencil in it becomes real easy. It gets the job done quickly and pencils come out super sharp.

Ordered this sharpener for my daughter who is beginning 5th grade and so far it has been working great. It is not a heavy sharpener and is just the right size. It is very convenient since it has the option to close it when not in use.

This sharpener has a dial that closes the top of the sharpener (to keep graphite dust from sifting out) and then chooses the shape of your point. There are five sharpening angles, from obtuse to acute angle. That way you can control the length of the point.The sharpener comes in various colors, from pink, blue, black, transparent lavender, transparent clear, transparent grey. For "serious" look, the black, transparent black (smoke grey) and clear. In terms of "attractiveness" I think the clear lavender is the prettiest. From time to time, special colors are made, like orange and lime green.I got the clear white to be able to see the shavings inside. The back slides off like a battery cover to let you empty your shavings.I have several sharpeners for my pencils (color and graphite) and by far this is my favorite. The flat shape fits well in a pencil case. You turn the dial to open it so there is no cap to fiddle with (or lose.)Highly recommended for pencil users. If you are filling up a pencil case for a student or art hobbyist, this is the sharpener I would choose over any others.

Does a great job sharpening my golf pencils., easy to empty. A bit pricey, but worth every penny. I would purchase again.

This pencil sharpener became the talk of social media for a while, and just about everyone tried it...myself included. And let me just say that if you invested a lot of money in Prismacolor pencils during their persnickety run and someone says THIS sharpener will sooth away your woos and you will be able to sharpen them, you'd try it too! And I think it did help with the Prismas (for a while...). Using a low setting/around a two helps you get a point on your Prismas without cracking the barrels or the leads (I will give it that...and that is a lot). That said, if you want a traditional point on any other pencil you can skip this sharpener.I paid $3.50 for my first one as an Amazon add on, so really there was no reason to complain. But I have seen the price almost double and thought I should share the other side of this sharpener. It is pretty and fun and it has the dial... which does give you different shaped points and can save how much wood you shave and thus how much of the core is wasted to create a point. And when I first used it I liked it (on my Prismacolors). I had no complaints worth mentioning.Technically, the short points take away some of the traditional use of the side of the pencil for shading because at the lowest settings you only get the point and not the long sides that you may rely on for your preferred coloring techniques (coloring pencils). And sorry to say, at the higher settings it is just a sharpener (and not the best one out there).Most annoyingly, the blade dies very quickly in this sharpener. I don't use it daily and within a month I needed a new one! I have had some sharpeners last me years, so a few weeks of use seems wrong to me. Don't make the mistake of putting a pencil in at one level and then changing the dial, that creates a messy crooked monster point and means you need to sharpen even more. And if your pencil is a little bit on the wide side, this sharpener will scratch the barrels. Do not put a Derwent pencil in there! Ugh! Part of the pleasure of colored pencils is their finish (at least for me), so boo to that side effect! Oh, and the first time you open the back to empty the shavings is the last time the back closes well...it always feels shaky after that (this happened on both my versions of this sharpen).I just thought someone should log the concerns because I know if I reviewed this sharpener the first time I used it, I too would have given it five stars. And most people just do not come back and update their reviews. But being on my second unit for 2018, I can now attest to the short lifespan and the other technical blips. I am in no way bashing the sharpener. It can be the right tool at the right price and I would buy another just for my Prismas. For my other pencils other sharpeners in my arsenal work better (specifically, at the same general price-point, the simple Kum steel blade and M&R round).
