Title: Kum Longpoint Pencil Sharpener
Review: What a great sharpener, I had heard of other brand longpoint sharpeners so thought I’d try one. This Kum sharpener from Amazon really works well to sharpen pencils to an ultra sharp point and is well made. Use the left hole first to cut back the wood, then the right to sharpen the Graphite to a really fine point. Spare blades are stored under the cover, which is a great bonus and there are holes on either side for 2mm automatic pencils, really well thought out sharpener at a great price, I purchased the multipack of three, which makes each sharpener less than £5 each. Recommended.

Title: Perfect!
Review: Best sharpener I have owned. One side lengthens the nib of the pencil, the other sides sharpens it to a fine point. Comes with one side extra blade which I won’t be needing for a while.

Title: Good blades, but flimsy lid and small canister
Review: Like other reviews mentioned, this sharpener has a very flimsy lid. I expected the lid is attached to the body with a hinge but no, it’s not designed to last.The blades are good, however this sharpener will let you see whether your pencils are crap or of quality. Good pencils sharpen effortlessly smooth but my set of Chinese made coloured pencils required pressing the pencils into the sharpener. The “automatic” bit is where it stops shaving off your pencils once they’ve reached their point (pun intended).I ended up sharpening my pencils straight into the bin as the long point means more shavings come out than a standard sharpener, which fills up the canister quite quickly. The lead pointer section also attracts pencil shavings badly so if you don’t blow the shavings out everytime you shave, it might be a major bummer to have a sharpener fills with pencils’ “dust”.

Title: Brilliant!
Review: Ordered this as I am fed up of spending a lot of money on good coloured pencils only to lose half of the thing to a sharpener as it sharpens the wood and centre at the same time. THIS little beauty however sharpens the wood first then you sharpen the lead to a point (I know! Sensible or what!) Absolute game changer! Some of the pencils I use are over 40 years old as we found a stash of old ones in my father in laws house when he had passed away. I didn’t think this ‘KUM’ would be able to succeed in sharpening these old beauties but just look that one in the 1st photo! I’ve happily given this 5 stars. If I’d had give a downside to this sharpener it would be that the plastic lid which holds in the filings is flimsy and you need to be careful not to pull the hinge side. If they fixed this niggle and made the area for the detrus a bit bigger, I would happily pay twice/three times this price as I now love sharpening my stash. (And yes the name has caused a few giggles from my teenagers, and husband!) ☆☆☆☆☆

Title: Good sharpener
Review: I really like the ‘two step’ sharpener! I like how I have the option for a long point (step 2) if the ‘normal’ point isn’t suitable.
Reviewer: Really lovely to see a long point on my pencils for my art work. Good quality.
