Personal pencil sharpeners vastly range in quality and functionality, so we’ve included a few Teach Starter teaching community recommendations to help you decide. Staedtler Desktop 1 Hole Sharpener Note that the red pencil peeler pictured is no longer available, but the same model is available in silver This sharpener is designed for use with Stabilo Woody 3-in-1 Pencils. It doesn’t seem to work well with any other pencil. A high-quality pencil plane that is designed to last. Instead of the insert and twist sharpening mechanism we are all used to, the pencil is run across the blade while turning gently. This makes it easier to sharpen your pencil without breaking the lead. Each pencil plane includes 10 carbon steel blades. Teach Starter teacher community member Kevin Collins says the ‘X-Acto® School Pro Electric Pencil Sharpener is the best! It has multiple sizes that it can sharpen, rarely jams, and is super fast.’

This sharpener also features an efficient slide-out reservoir to simplify emptying shavings and help control messes. The KUM Long Point uses two separate sharpeners in one unit. It first renders the wood into an elongated cone and then shaves the lead to a fine point. The palm-sized sharpener easily fits into a briefcase or tote, and the clear shavings bin allows you to see when it's time to empty the filings. The sharpener is designed for the 2- and 3.15-mm lead common to art pencils but can handle 8 mm diameter pencils as well. This Jakar Electric Sharpener has a UK wall-plug, which is attached to the device by a 1.6 m long lead. The device will stop sharpening once the pencil has been brought to a fine point.This Faber Castell Easy Grip Trio Sharpening Box is made from strong yet lightweight plastic. It features three holes: one for sharpening coloured pencils, one for regular-sized graphite pencils and one for jumbo pencils. It did well in our tests and is very portable. Teacher Kim Fox tells us, ‘We put electric sharpeners [Gold Sovereign] in every room and learning area. Best decision. No more broken or missing sharpeners, no blades being taken out and no sharpenings everywhere.’ The case of the missing pencils will always be a classroom mystery! To help combat this, assign every student in your class a unique number and then mark all their pencils with it. This will help endless digging around in the pencil bag and save time organising pencils to be sharpened, too. Set up a Smart Pencil Sharpening Station If students can hop up at any time to sharpen their pencils, this privilege can easily be abused. To prevent this from happening, establish rules around when pencils can and cannot be sharpened. For example, you may want to establish that no one can stand up to sharpen their pencil while you or another student is speaking, or perhaps you want to limit sharpening to the start and end of the school day. Create a Pencil Sharpener Job Our very own Teach Starter Resource Production Manager Natalie Brown also raves about this sharpener, saying, ‘I had the X-ACTO Pencil School Pro Electric Pencil Sharpener, and it lasted me YEARS! I loved it!’

This Jakar pencil sharpener has a single hole and a stylish ergonomic design. It has a reasonably small chamber for pencil shavings, but is otherwise very well designed.

Helical Pencil Sharpeners

If you're using pencils at home, work, or school, chances are that you'll need to keep them sharpened to keep your writing and drawing at its best. Our range of pencil sharpeners are available in different styles. Whether you prefer a more classic look, or novelty, we have you covered at Ryman®. This KUM Double Metal Sharpener pencil sharpener is made of metal and has two steel blades. It will fit any 7 mm and 9 mm pencils. This sharpener is designed for use with ‘Jumbo’ 12 mm diameter pencils such as the Faber Castell Series 9000 Jumbo or the Koh-I-Noor Jumbo Graphite Pencil 1820. The colour of the plastic portion of the unit might vary from that shown above. This Faber-Castell pencil sharpener is made of steel and will keep its point. It is a double hole sharpener which can sharpen standard diameter graphite and colour pencils. The Westcott iPoint HALO Battery Operated Pencil Sharpener is another teacher-favourite to look into for your classroom. This affordable sharpener has an auto-sensor shut off to ensure pencils are not over-sharpened, resulting in wastage. Plus, it comes with durable Titanium Bonded blades and an easy-view shavings reservoir to monitor when it’s time to be emptied.

Our analysis of pencil sharpeners relies on four metrics to examine all aspects of a good pencil sharpener. Specifically, these are convenience, lead type, pencil diameter, and shape, as well as sharpness and point type. Under each of these broad categories were carefully designed tests to provide a full understanding of each machine and who it will best suit. For the details of each metric and the machines that performed best, please continue reading. Convenience This Staedtler Pencil Sharpener is designed for use with regular graphite pencils. It is a single-hole sharpener with a reservoir for graphite and wood shavings and a cap to stop dust leaking from the sharpening hole when not in use. Once the reservoir is full, simply press the button on the side to release the lid then empty the sharpener into a bin. It’s made of plastic, but this sharpener has an air of solid dependability about it. Sharpeners come in all different shapes, styles, and colours. You can choose a sharpener that catches the shavings, a desktop sharpener, an open sharpener, or an electric pencil sharpener. Whatever type of sharpener you need, you can rely on Ryman®. Our range is complete with all of the pencil case accessories you'll need for school, work, or home, from some of the top brands like Milan, Staedtler, Faber-Castell, and Helix.This gadget also comes with a desk clamp, making it easier for students to sharpen at their desks without the device slipping. Win-Win! So, before we get started, here’s a handy guide of key features you might want to remember when looking for a classroom pencil sharpener. This sharpener is designed for use with Stabilo Carbothello Pastel Pencils, which have softer leads than regular graphite pencils and cannot hold as fine a point. They therefore have to be sharpened to a slightly wider angle (i.e. a stubbier point). This is the simplest and cheapest pencil sharpener we sell. It is small, tough and portable, though it will only sharpen standard diameter (e.g. 7 mm) pencils.
