I paid way too much for this pencil sharpener. But, your review was true. As a teacher, my students map pencils were either getting chewed up by our classroom pencil sharpener, or the pencils were gumming up the sharper. My only complaint is that I have to sharpen all of their pencils because I am too protective of the sharpener.

This is a fascinating little invention. I usually prefer long points, but to have this versatility seems worth the price IF there were a a dependable blade source for replacement.

Oh, but the Japanese would definitely put that much thought into a pencil sharpener.

Amazing, I never thought someone would put that much thought into a pencil sharpener. ;-)

I just ordered one. It lists for $14.50, but it’s selling for $9.50. Looks too interesting to pass up….

Looks very handy. I sometimes use the jumbo sharpener that comes with the Tri-Conderogas to get a blunt tip on regular-sized pencils. I like the control the T’GAAL appears to offer, although 14.50 plus S&H seems a bit on the high side for what is pictured.
