Faber-Castell Trio Pencil Sharpener Tub Box GRIP 2001 Silver

Great quality pencil sharpener that does the job.

I have tried many sharpeners to sharpen my soft charcoal pencils and they all snap the pencils. Even tried a mechanical one. I seen an artist online using this one and wanted to try. Works brilliantly. Would recommend. Has a hole for coloured pencils, large pencils and graphite (this one works with charcoal)

Great sharper, get gives a very sharp point to my pencils and none have broken so far. I have used this for Derwent coloursoft pencils, I have to use the largest hole for them, it does make the end of the pencils quite short but sharpens them very well. I've also used Marco raffine pencils in the standard hole and they sharpen to a fantastic point. It's easy to clean by opening the sharpener at the opposite side.

Excellent sharpener. I do find that some powdery dust does escape but overall it's very good and creates a lovely sharp point ideal for details

Great sharpener

sharpens coloured pencils lovely and smooth doesn't take chunks out of them

AMAZING !!! In ALL my years I've never had a small sharpener that's done SUCH a fantastic job - very fine point and no breakage and brilliant for Faber-Castell polychromos. I usually use the swordfish desk sharpener but even the little stumps won't fit so thanks !

I am so pleased with this sharpener. I bought it to take with me to a group where I teach crafts and it is important to have a good sharpener that can fit in my box that I take along with me. I found it useful as the shavings are collected in the bottom of the container and it sharpens the pencils to a sharp point. I didn't use it with faber-castell pencils but other makes of pencils and it worked just fine. I think this is a really great value for money shapener and it has 3 different holes (incuding the jumbo hole option) for sharpening. FInding a good sharpener can be tricky but I would recommend this one as it works well and is compact for transporting with you and the fact that it collects the shavings is a bonus too. Update 1/3/2017 I have bought another one as my daughter uses the sharpener to sharpen her eyeliner, lip liner and eyebrow pencils and I decided to get her one for herself.

Hands down the best sharpener I have ever bought for my colored pencils. I use prismas, and Derwent intense. You know how finicky trying to make sure you have a sharp point without breakage. This is great. It has a spot on one side for pencils, then one for colored pencils, and different hexagonal shapes of some of the higher end colored pencils. It gave me a super sharp point without sounding like it was eating my pencil. I have several others that like to eat the pencils, and make the whole center core fall out. Not this. I don't know where this has been my whole coloring life. I'll be buying another one for back up. Saved my coloring.

Bonne taille et très bonne qualité

Fungerar utmärkt. Smidig förpackning, inte för stor och inte för liten. Fungerar även på trekantiga pennor. Jag fick en fråga om det och för tillfället hade jag ingen sådan sort vilket jag svarade. Men jag hittade en och testade - fungerade utmärkt även på den (hittar inte frågan igen varför jag skriver det här).

A great flexible sharpener with three different cutting profiles for different pencil and lead types. See the photo for a comparison of the angle and length on different pencils; Staedtler Noris-Maxi (Jumbo), Staedtler Mars Lumochrom (Graphite), and Staedtler Aquarell (Colour). The sharpener cuts smoothly with easy pencil rotation, resulting in a very pointy point if required. Has decent sized receptacles for the shavings while still fitting ergonomically in my large hand. Has a small interlocking lip to seal in any stray shavings when closed — presumably to minimise mess in a pencil case. Stainless steel blades made in Germany, secured with tri-wing screws. Decent quality plastics overall, although I’m not sure how the hinge will hold up over time. Comes as is, and does not include any additional packaging or instructions. Overall a very good quality pencil sharpener for the price.
