This little sharpener works like a champ! Previously knife-sharpened Conte pencils get a great do-over with the wide hole and a gentle touch while turning the pencil. You won't be sorry...

"Great Little Gizmo"
I have three pencil sharpeners that no longer work after sharpening pastel pencils. I was very impressed that this simple little gizmo really works! It is sturdy enough to handle wooden pastel pencils. If the point breaks, it is easy to push it out and start again, avoiding a permanent jam. There are replacement blades when the blade on the gizmo becomes dull.
