The sharpener that is permanently in class is old and sounds it, doesn't keep a nice tight axis of rotation when it grinds away. My newer sharpener seems to still have its bearings all nice and aligned, and it seems to eat away less leads. I'm going to look into the color pencil - specific sharpener, as well. Gotta have those crisp, sharp points.Wendeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12309670181942769454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17370700.post-57046763137874373202007-03-15T08:07:00.000-07:002007-03-15T08:07:00.000-07:00I've heard that about the newer prismacolors.

You'll also find a lot more information about coloured pencils in my squidoo lens <BR/>http://www.squidoo.com/colpencils/<BR/><BR/>Personally I would always recommend using the most effficient and effective sharpener you can find. These aren't always expensive. However poor sharpeners can be very expensive as they can ruin pencils.Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.com
