Aiguise bien. Par contre très petite et elle n'est pas pratique à vider. Ne vaut pas du tout le prix indiqué.

I've only used the smaller hole so far for regular pencils and colored pencils, but it worked great! Nice and sharp, without shaving too much off. Feels sturdy. The little lid that covers the holes is the only thing that may break off one day, but can be kept on with some tape or something. 👍🏼 Nice little thing!

Great pencil sharpener designed for specific use with Derwent watercolor pencils. Sharpens pencils to small point which is good for drawing fine lines.

Used on the thick colored pencils and normal sized colored pencils and the thing really sharpens! So far this is the best sharpener I've used.

This is a review for “Derwent Manual Twin Hole Pencil Sharpener“This pencil sharpener has several things going for it that are positive. It accommodates many different sized pencils because of it having two different sized sharpeners built into it. The blades in the sharpeners are very effective. The sharpened tips that it makes it very sharp and pointed.My one critique of the sharpener is that the receptacle to hold the pencil shavings is not large enough. It is also a fairly dark body, so it is difficult to tell just how full the receptacle is. I primarily use the smaller of the two holes for my sharpening and testing and found that once you took the base off to empty it, there were a whole bunch of pencil shavings jammed up by the actual blade and hadn’t dropped into the receptacle. If the wall of the container was just a little bit farther away from the edge of the blade, the shavings would probably drop into the container better. But as it’s a fairly tight fit up in there, I think the shavings just crawled in on its self and wedged itself into place. I hunted around for some thing, a kin to a paper clip to unfold and used to poke and pry the excess out.When I initially unpackaged the sharpener, I could not get the lid open. It was so difficult that I actually went to the back of the package to see if there was any directions and maybe figured I was doing it wrong. Eventually, I did get it open and upon breaking that first seal, it was never as difficult to open or close again. So, if you’re struggling, keep at it, or give it to somebody with bigger, stronger hands. Once you get the top popped open, it is then easier to also pop base off to empty it.I tried as many different brands of pencils that I own in it, to see how well can you come at eight different sized pencils. Happy to report. All of them worked fine.
