Hi LiNE T'GAAL Angle Adjustable Pencil Sharpener (RS028CL)

This pencil sharpener is one of the best hand sharpeners I've ever used! It's able to sharpen both my graphite and colored pencils to a very fine point without any breakage to the lead core and leaves the wood collar very smooth. The sharpener has five different dial settings to choose from a short point (#1) to a long point (#5). The back of the packaging has a diagram of the different point sizes for each setting: #1 and #2 are recommended for colored pencils, #3 and #4 for 6B to 2B graphite pencils, #5 for HB pencils. However, most solid lead pencil types can be used on any setting depending on preference (at least in my experience). Another thing I love about this sharpener is that I get the most out of my pencils with each sharpening, as indicated by the paper-thin pencil shavings that come out. This is especially good for saving expensive pencils. To get the best results, I recommend holding the pencil firmly in your non-dominant hand and turning the sharpener with your dominant hand. I also like that the sharpener hole can be closed to prevent shavings from falling out when I carry the sharpener with me. One criticism I have is that the little slide-out back door to empty the shavings isn't transparent so I can't tell if the sharpener is full unless I open it. Other than that, this sharpener is great!

This is the best sharpener ever! I bought it to use with my expensive colored pencils and it does not disappoint. Gentle on the leads and gets them to a sharp point.

This sharpener has a dial that closes the top of the sharpener (to keep graphite dust from sifting out) and then chooses the shape of your point. There are five sharpening angles, from obtuse to acute angle. That way you can control the length of the point. The sharpener comes in various colors, from pink, blue, black, transparent lavender, transparent clear, transparent grey. For "serious" look, the black, transparent black (smoke grey) and clear. In terms of "attractiveness" I think the clear lavender is the prettiest. From time to time, special colors are made, like orange and lime green. I got the clear white to be able to see the shavings inside. The back slides off like a battery cover to let you empty your shavings. I have several sharpeners for my pencils (color and graphite) and by far this is my favorite. The flat shape fits well in a pencil case. You turn the dial to open it so there is no cap to fiddle with (or lose.) Highly recommended for pencil users. If you are filling up a pencil case for a student or art hobbyist, this is the sharpener I would choose over any others.

This is a fun sharpener. At about the four setting I can get a pretty standard point like I would from almost any pocket sharpener, but the lower settings shorten your lead point so you can get the short points you see on golf pencils and a lot of stock sharpening like Ticonderogas. You won't get a long point out of this, but short to medium is covered with quite a bit of nuance. Nuance may be an operative word, it isn't a ton of variety. You get short and medium points. That's mostly what I use, so I'm satisfied, but if you're looking for long points look at the Kum. I was looking for this to do the shorter points and it does those well. It's been tough for me to find a sharpener that will do those. There's a learning curve, as the instructions were in Japanese and not much help to me. I had to do some experimenting to get the exact length of point I was looking for. Once you dial that in, however, it cuts a sharp point and does what it says it will do. There is a stop that closes the opening for the pencil. Mine doesn't really do that anymore after a few weeks of moderate use. Shavings could ostensibly come back out the opening, though that's not been an issue for me. The shavings go into the housing and the blade separates that chamber from the opening. To my thinking its a superfluous function, so I am not sad at the loss. Still, in good conscience it should be disclosed that that function doesn't, well, function. Over all it's a solid sharpener. It doesn't feel flimsy even though it's fairly thin plastic. I have had this in my bag for the last month or so and its not let me down. The door to open the shaving reservoir is still strongly mating. I've had no shavings spills and it keeps putting a point on. I detracted a star for the loss of the closing door for the pencil hole. I don't mind, but it still seems fair.

I bought one of these about 7 years ago. I loved it. It became my favorite sharpener. It worked faster, and far better than any I'd ever tried before. As you can see from the picture, I used it so much that all of the markings were worn away. But even at seven years old, the blade was barely worn. I only had to replace it because the back became a little loose and was dropping pencil shavings and dust. When I got the new one, I was amazed at how sharp it was, but that I had barely noticed the dulling in the old one was telling. It was that good. I mean, it lasted me 7 good years (and thats even with my cat knocking it on the floor multiple times.) It has 5 different settings for different widths of your pencil tip. My preference is #1 but trying the other 4 settings is fun too. I am fully confident that this new one can also last me seven years. I love these sharpeners.

I got this for sharpening my new prismacolor premiere colored pencils. They have a soft lead and are ideally sharpened with a very short point to prevent breaking. This sharpener gets the point almost exactly like the factory point. I sharpened a new pencil that didn’t have any point and it cut like butter. I’m disappointed that it isn’t possible to replace the blade, because colored pencils make pencil sharpeners dull faster than anything else. But I already bought a second one as a backup for when this one is dull.

Interesting sharpener. You can control thd point you make on your pencils. Seems durable enough.

Perfect for colored pencils! The design allows for the point length to be perfect for how you use them! So nice
