My drawing pencils and colored pencils need sharpening all the time, and I found that the sharpener that worked best for me was a KUM brand one. It was only $1 something at Fisher, but what I found slightly inconvenient was that I had to be by a trash can when using it.
On a return trip (I go often) to Fisher I found this one. It was only $2 something so I got it.
Hard to beat German engineering and products. Or Swiss. That is why I now buy Hansgrohe faucets (like your bathroom one) and other German products if I have a choice. Made in China is cheap, but you get what you pay for.

Which reminds me, have to stop at Fisher's get permanent markers. Love Fisher, convenient on the way to surf.
nice!
Good to know, not that I draw, but funny I like using pencils now and then to write, especially No. 1s.

I like finding stuff that’s well made! I have a knife made in Germany...it’s the only knife I like to use.
Da Germans are Smaht! ; )
Chet, I looooove Fisher. But the Kakaako one . . . so much homeless nearby. They scare me.
Kat, I like the color I picked. LOL.
Izsmom, I'm liking them more and more as an art tool.
Susan, I have a few favorite German scissors.
Totally, Mark!

Cool, I think I have that one too. No need worry about shavings.
