Derwent Twin Hole Pencil Sharpener with Container, Double Hole Sharpener for Artist Sketching Pencils & Colouring Pencils, Two Hole Sizes 11.5 & 8.25mm, Strong Metal Pencil Sharpeners, Black, 2306123

This sharpener feels solid, and the fact it has two hole sizes is great if you’re using different graphite types. It handles soft pencils really well without chewing them up — and the shavings container means you can take it to cafés or outdoors without making a mess. A must-have if you draw or journal regularly.

Very good quality an sharpens the pencils very well. Good value for money. Easy to use. The flap that lifts up to reveal the sharpener, van ne stiff to open. The sharpener is small so fills up quite quickly.

Sharpens pencils nicely with a good bin size. A little finicky to open the bin up. Good value for money. It's a basic pencil sharpener.

Brilliant product, I have purchased two of the same. When I misplaced one another one is within reach. This product is one of the very best pencil sharpener, which had two holes, a larger and a smaller hole which is ideal. Derwent sharpener sharpen pencils very well, no problem and no trouble with the sharpener, they work.very well. I will buy again from this same seller.

Good

It's quite small, difficult to empty, but when it does work, it gets the pencil tip, nice and sharp.

I like that it contains the sharpenings. It sharpens to a very good point.I'm using it for colour drawing using polychromos and Pablo's.You do need to empty once full as point can break if not.But overall I'm really pleased with my purchase and I think it's a decent price and does the job.

I don't like this sharpener. I bought it to replace my old Derwent tub sharpener which is now blunt, but the container is half the size of the old version, it's very fiddly to open and empty and if a broken lead gets stuck it's difficult to remove it as the sharpener remains inside the tub and only the bottom of the tub removes when opening it to empty it. Another case of a company changing their design to make something worse than the old design not better. A rip off for the money!
