Prismacolor sharpener page in the Manufacturer's website: http://www.prismacolor.com/sanford/consumer/prismacolor/product/subCategory.jhtml?subCat=SNPRCat130025
The Prismacolor sharpener is one of my favorite choices from my collection: it is compact, well-designed, easy to clean, and very seldom breaks my colored pencils and softer graphite pencils. Sharpener is held vertically while sharpening, so there is minimum stress on the pencil point resulting in fewer accidental breaks.
The wedge sharpener can be removed from its housing to replace the blades when they get dull. I tend to pick this model when traveling by air for the convenience of the waste container and overall compact design. It takes far less room than the 2-hole Staedtler Mars Lumograph sharpener or the Faber Castell Trio.
This particular sharpener has been in use for quite some time, and it still yields a razor sharp point on this 3B Mitsubishi Unistar graphite pencil. The Prismacolor sharpener or actually the simple KUM wedge sharpener held inside is the perfect accessory for my priced Mitsubishi Hi-Uni and Tombow Mono 100 pencils.
