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

A lightweight sharpener with two size options. Very sharp blades. Holds a reasonable amount of shavings and easy to open and empty. Achieves a long, needle- like point on your pencils, ideal for fine detailed work. Good value.

Good quality 👌 works well. A brand you can trust. Their coloured pencils are fantastic

I bought this because I received the Derwent Drawing pencils as a Christmas present, but they don’t fit in my Faber Castell sharpener. It sharpens the pencils really well: to a very long fine point. So it meets the bare minimum! However, I do think the lid is a bit flimsy and with frequent opening and closing it will probably break. I think it might happen before the end of the year! The joint is quite a thin plastic. Also, just emptied it now for the first time and it’s a bit annoying. Maybe once I get used to it, it won’t be so annoying!

You wouldn’t think a sharpener could be so good! Or any different from any other sharpener (as I did) but honestly, this is the best pencil sharpener I’ve ever used! I’m an artist, I’ve used many many over the years, and this one is hands above any of the others! It sharpens into that ‘brand new point’, every time, old pencils are brand new again with that particular angled point. I’m excited to sharpen pencils now! Yes I’m obviously getting old when such a thing brings joy, lol, but what can I say, new sharp pencils are a delight to any artist! It was a tad difficult to get out at first, to empty, but once you’ve done it once then it’s easier thereafter. Compact with a flip lid and 2 sizes to accommodate most if not all of your pencils. I love it and definitely recommend it, you’ll see what I mean about the new pencil points! So if your thinking about it, get it!..you won’t be disappointed:)

Good little sharpener. Gives a really sharp point and catches the mess.

I bought this as I love to draw , I had pencils and no sharpener . I thought that looks dainty and cool. When I got it home got exited and opened it up. But I said yay the lid opens then trying to get rid of the the sharpening was a bloody nightmare couldn’t open it up it’s so hard no instructions on how to do it makes it even harder to use it. Not for recommendations sorry mate

It’s a good pencil sharpener , I use it for watercolour pencils . The only downside about it is I think it’s fiddly when emptying it . Maybe it’s me but getting the two sections apart I spill some of the contents sometimes . However I like that it is efficient and does not break the point of the pencils / crayons .

It's light weight, it says 8 sheets but not tried that stuck to two or three. Got through a carrier bag of bank statements in no time. Read the instructions before use. Yep seems worth it's money. A good size for home use.
