Mobius + Ruppert (M+R) Brass Artists Pencil Sharpener - choose from 4 shapes! Made in Germany - finest in the world! (604 - Bullet/Grenade)

Good and handy

Smaller than I thought it would be, but it works well. Good German made quality.

I am a proffessional illustrator and I love these simple little brass sharpeners. High quality that lasts forever with replaceable blades. Excellent for prismacolor colored pencils whose lead tends to break in electric sharpeners, these work fantastic. Fits easily in your pencil bags so no matter where you are you have a high quality sharpener. As a side note to bush crafters (believe it or not) these also make great gifts for the bushcrafter in your life as tiny portable tinder makers. Grab a few pine sticks great because if their resin content and you can makes peels upon peels of tinder for your fire starting needs. A little known trick that I can't believe more people don't know about.

These brass Mobius sharpeners are all excellent, and stay sharp a long time, and it is even worth changing the blades. I have always used the usual rectangular ones until recently, but have started to have trouble with my hands. I find the bullet shaped sharpener fits closer into my palm and doesn't slip or dig in uncomfortably, and sharpens just as well as the others of this brand. You try things until you find what works, with arthritis: this little bullet shape is giving me back both function and comfort with my frequent colored pencil enjoyment. Recommended!

It’s amazing what a high quality sharpener this is!

Gets the job done

Very good product(s), at reasonable pricing.

Smaller than I expected. Purchased as a gift.
