Faber-Castell Grip Trio Manual Pencil Sharpener (Red or Blue) - Graphite, Jumbo and Colored Pencil Sharpener

Best pencil sharpener that I ever had. I bought it for my colored pencils and it works great. I’ve bought several as gifts and another for myself to make sure I have a backup in case of misplacing it.

Have been looking for a good pencil sharpener for my colored pencils. Regular sharpeners just don't sharpen them right. This has a special colored pencils slot as well as regular pencils slot. Highly recommend. Easy to empty. Very durable. Great design.

It's a great sharpener that spreates the colors and your regular pencil scraps. It's easy to damp of and clean with big storage capacity.

The blades seem good and have delivered good results. I have no doubt over time the plastic hinge that attaches the two sides will wear and snap. But that doesn't mean the two sides won't still be useful - they just won't be attached anymore. Hardly a concern for the price and the good sharpening.

A "dependable" pencil sharpener? Why not?!! I need a quality pencil sharpener that can dependably sharpen standard pencils AND colored pencils without causing breakage. I have used this model pencil sharpener for years and bought this one for my on-the-go kit. Never disappoints. To make things even nicer, it is designed to collect and contain the pencil shavings until there is a convenient time and place to empty the collection cells. My favorite sharpener.

I really, really like this pencil sharpener! Let me count the ways... Three sharpening holes, which accommodate multiple pencil diameters and styles. I have some colored pencils which are quite thick (the Derwent being the most notable) and which do not fit a standard sharpener whole. i hate having to buy multiple sharpeners, so it was very nice that this one can accommodate both diameters. Two sharpening styles for standard diameter pencils. With some colored pencils, I like the core to be long and thin -- those are usually the ones that are oil-based (i.e., a harder core). For others like the really soft cored colored pencils (think Prismacolor), I prefer to expose less of the core. This sharpener can handle both. Sharpens to a very point tip! Holds a fair amount of shavings before emptying, which I appreciate, especially when coloring on the sofa! I like this particular sharpener so much that I have three of them -- the original that I am still using after a year, and two for backups -- I am not taking a chance that they will quit making them!

I also have the Prismacolor and Steadtler sharpeners and I have to say that this Faber-Castel sharpener is the absolute best sharpener for all types of colored pencils. It sharpens your pencil to a Sharp point without sacrificing much of your pencil. The colored sharpener is in the top part when you open the sharpener which gives you a great angle for sharpening. This sharpener grips your pencil as you sharpen it. This gripping of the pencil keeps the leads from breaking and shapes it to a sharp point without any significant pencil loss. I have sharpened Prismacolor Soft Cores, Prismacolor Verithins, Steadtler colored pencils and Marco Raffine pencils and they all sharpened beautifully with this sharpener. The bottom compartment has a regular and jumbo slot for regular pencils. I bought this pencil sharpener because it is the sharpener Faber-Castel sells with their Polychromos. There are three colors: silver, red and blue and I received blue.

We got two of these sharpeners because I liked them so much. One we got for my 5 year old and another for her youngest brother. I love that it has 2 sizes for pencils and one for colored pencils. They all work well and are made in Germany. They are easy for me to use but not as much for my kids who cannot hold the sharpener well while sharpening their jumbo pencils.
