Pencil sharpeners have slanted blades or burrs that shape pencil ends into sharp, pointed tips. The pencil is usually inserted through an opening, where rotating blades shave the lead and the wood sheath. Most barrels are designed for specific widths, but some sharpeners have multiple openings to fit different pencil sizes.
Disposal: Choose a pencil sharpener with a large container for storing pencil shavings. Make sure it is thick and sturdy, as some high-speed electric sharpeners can dislodge or damage the case.
Pencil width: Choose a pencil sharpener with multiple holes for fitting different pencil widths. If you have several different pencils, look for one with an adjustable claw opening.
