Mobius & Ruppert Solid Brass Pencil Sharpener Circular Round Double Heavy Duty Sharpener 5112 (Dual Size Barrel)

The solid brass construction makes for a sturdy pencil sharpener that feels heavy in the hand. The blades are extremely sharp and effortlessly sharpen pencils. This works as a double-edged sword, however (quite literally), as the geometry means that you're at risk of stabbing yourself while using it. You can probably guess how I found that out... Yes, it's expensive for a pencil sharpener, but worth it for the experience in my eyes. The larger sharpening hole will also come in handy for carpenter's pencils, which makes it pretty versatile (though that's not an original idea by any means).

Absolutely excellent. Obviously, very well made. It may cost more than most but it does a better job than any other manual sharpener that I have tried. Look on it as an investment, when I think of how many pencils that I wasted due to cheaper sharpeners breaking their lead when trying to get a useable point. With care, it even gave be a reasonable tip on a charcoal pencil.

Nice weighty efficient little pencil sharpener. It seems good quality, and I hope to have plenty of use from it with a box of spare blades to fit the sharpener.

My second M&R sharpener. My first found its way into my wife’s studio. The second is every bit as brilliant as the first.

Great quality item and worth the cost for a well engineered piece of kit that produces a lovely point on pencils. It can be a little tricky to hold without the second blade catching your finger, so not one for the children to use on their own.

Bought this as it was recommended for sharpening pastel pencils, but those pesky buggers still break off! Excellent sharpening otherwise.

I was looking for a sharpener for my thicker charcoal pencils. This sharpener works very well with my derwent charcoal pencils and my Conte pencils. If you hate sharpening with a knife this is a good sharpener. Maybe sharpening with a knife wastes less charcoal. I love the simplicity.

Well pleased with sharpner

Bello, forse mi aspettavo la lama un filo migliore

I've finally found a sharpener that works!

Scharfe Klinge - man hat was in der Hand - Ich mag die Länge der Spitze

Semble efficace pour tailler correctement les crayons pastels Caran d’Ache et Carbothello, à voir sur la durée.

This is the best of my three pencil sharpeners, because it shaves the wood very finely, without splintering the body of the pencil. Just hope the quality of steel blade, and keenest endures and does not blunt quickly.
