AS2M (1053121), Long Point Sharpener, sharpens in 2 steps; 2 spare blades includes. With lead pointers for 2 mm and 3.2 mm. BLUE only

I don't think there's a hand sharpener available that does a better job than this one. It makes perfect points to draw with, and you can choose a little more blunt or delicately sharp. You can use this to sharpen leads from a lead holder to perfect points and this does a far better job than the messy Staedtler Barrel sharpener. It comes with replacement blades which are so easily swapped out. The downsides of this sharpener is the plastic hinged door wears out over time and eventually breaks. I have taped them down in the past. It does last pretty long, I'm talking a year or two with near daily use, and the door can certainly be replaced, but I have not been able to source replacement doors, and it's just cheaper and convenient to purchase a new sharpener. One other extremely nominal bit of feedback to give is I miss the old matchbox style case for it. I have been reusing the older case for years since they changed it.

I received the Red one not the Blue I ordered, but it works good.. The red one doesn't have the side holes for sharpening.

I absolutely love it! After watching Youtube reviews and reading reviews, I decided to purchase 2. I am definitely happy with the purchase. I only spent a little over $8 each, and I have spent WELL OVER the 17 total for two on buying sharpener after sharpener to try to get a decent point. If you are using pencils for art, these are especially great. The #1 side sharpens the wood off from around the lead, and the #2 side sharpens just the lead. I've seen reviews where people mention that it makes a great sharpener for "two different sizes" but that is not the point of this sharpener. (No pun intended, but enjoyed!) I've also seen a review where the person asked when to know when to stop turning the pencil, I think, on the wood side. So FYI to those who want to know, if you look in the sharpener and see where it says "STOP", that is how far you can let the pencil sharpen to until the lead hits that ledge. But you don't have to if you don't want to - you will still get a sharp point when you use the #2 side to sharpen the lead. I generally sharpen almost to the stop point on the wood and then sharpen on the lead side until I feel it starting to sharpen the wood on that side. I want #2 blade saved for the leads only. Just a side note, of course I tried this on my "cheaper" colored pencils first, before sharpening my more expensive ones. I used Crayola pencils as my cheap ones (they are cheap) and I didn't expect the wood to be as smooth as it is, but this sharpener sharpened the wood very smoothly with no catches. Then I tried it on my Prismacolor Col-Erase pencils, which tend to have wood that catches in a sharpener, and even those sharpened smoothly on the wood! You have to be gentle when sharpening the lead of them, but it performed fine on that as well. Then on to my actual art pencils of wax and oil, and these sharpened beautifully! All in all, I believe this to be a wonderful sharpener and well worth the cost, which, mind you, includes the additional two lead point sharpeners and the 2 extra blades - for a total of 4 sharpening areas and 2 extra blades for the main sharpeners. As long as you understand how to use this great sharpener, it is awesome! And if you don't understand, just look it up on Youtube. (I do understand any anger some people might have over getting a lemon, but that chance happens with any product you get, unfortunately, like the Derwent battery operated sharpener I got because other people told me it was good. Mine was not. I should have returned it and didn't. That is on me.)

I love this sharpener! I use both graphite,colored, and mechanical pencil leads, and this sharpener is great for all of them. I'm going to buy a couple more because they're just that good and I dont want to run into problems finding them again down the road. Highly recommend for any serious artist.

An excellently designed product that covers most of the popular sizes of leads that need sharpening. Kum makes some of the best blades for pencil sharpeners. This is not a value purchase at these elevated prices. Needless to say there are much cheaper pencil sharpeners.

It's a nice sharpener that leaves my colored pencils nice and sharp. It doesn't what I need. I would recommend.

My favorite pencil sharpener, mechanical or automatic. The two-stage sharpening process is delicate enough for very soft pencils and gives a consistent needle-point tip. Blades are very sharp, easy to empty but closes securely, and small enough to bring in my small pencil bag. I'd previously tried many mechanical sharpeners but they often broke my softer pencils, so I resorted to the sharpening by hand with an Olfa craft knife. Because this relies upon a steady hand, I had an occasional broken pencil and overall wasted a lot of material. Sharper and more gentle than my automatic AFMAT long point pencil sharpener. Highly recommend First pic is after stage 1 (wood shaping), second is after stage 2 (lead). Third is another completed pencil.

For the first week or so this worked great, the first (left) hole sharpened the wood and left a long lead and then the second hole (right) sharpened the lead nicely. However, the blades seemed to degrade quickly and then the sharpener began breaking the lead in the second hole almost every time. I replaced the two blades and it is back to working, but it seems that it is a matter of time before I need to get replacement blades. I feel the blades need to be better quality.

Ho trovato questo temperamatite grazie al consiglio di un amico, e devo dire che il prodotto è molto utile, poiché contiene in un unico oggetto un temperamatite a doppia azione, un temperamine da 2mm e un altro temperamine da 3,15mm. La "doppia azione" si riferisce al fatto che la matita passa prima dalla lama n°1 che porta via il legno, e poi nella lama n°2 che rende appuntita la mina. Comodissimo nell'uso e nella portabilità, è molto utile per chi ha bisogno di temperare continuamente la punta degli strumenti da disegno. Per quanto riguarda la struttura, avrei preferito pagarlo anche di più ma con un involucro in metallo. La plastica si deteriora più facilmente, ma non è di vitale importanza. Resta da valutare la durabilità del prodotto: spero che questo temperamatite duri quanto previsto, ad ogni modo nella confezione si possono trovare due ricambi di lama.

２種類の削り穴があるのが特徴の商品で、端的に言えば芯が長く削れる穴と、短く削れる穴があります。 最初はどちらも中途半端で芯先がうまくとがらず、だめ商品かと思っていました。 しかし、長い方で削った後、短い方で削ると、あっという間にぴんぴんに削れました！刃の削れ具合もなかなか良いです。とても良い商品だったと思います。

Super präzise, so einen hatte ich noch nie

ce que je cherchais depuis longtemps

this is such a handy little sharpener and I love that it has a sharpening hole for lead, it's why I bought it. It's never in stock at my local art shop so I'm glad I found it online.
