If you're using pencils at home, work, or school, chances are that you'll need to keep them sharpened to keep your writing and drawing at its best. Our range of pencil sharpeners are available in different styles. Whether you prefer a more classic look, or novelty, we have you covered at Ryman®. Our analysis of pencil sharpeners relies on four metrics to examine all aspects of a good pencil sharpener. Specifically, these are convenience, lead type, pencil diameter, and shape, as well as sharpness and point type. Under each of these broad categories were carefully designed tests to provide a full understanding of each machine and who it will best suit. For the details of each metric and the machines that performed best, please continue reading. Convenience

Our team's analysis of pencil sharpeners was straightforward but exhaustive. We sharpened every kind of pencil commonly available and rated the machines on their performance. Namely, these were round, hexagonal, and triangular-shaped pencils with lead types of graphite, color, and charcoal. We rated the machines on the range of diameters they could accommodate as well. Perhaps most importantly, we delved into the convenience features that each machine offered. For example, we timed how long it took to sharpen a standard pencil, how much noise the machine produced, and whether the blade included an auto-stop mechanism to prevent over-sharpening. Sharpeners come in all different shapes, styles, and colours. You can choose a sharpener that catches the shavings, a desktop sharpener, an open sharpener, or an electric pencil sharpener. Whatever type of sharpener you need, you can rely on Ryman®. Our range is complete with all of the pencil case accessories you'll need for school, work, or home, from some of the top brands like Milan, Staedtler, Faber-Castell, and Helix. The KUM Long Point uses two separate sharpeners in one unit. It first renders the wood into an elongated cone and then shaves the lead to a fine point. The palm-sized sharpener easily fits into a briefcase or tote, and the clear shavings bin allows you to see when it's time to empty the filings. The sharpener is designed for the 2- and 3.15-mm lead common to art pencils but can handle 8 mm diameter pencils as well.
Our favorite sharpener has been updated since testing. The revised model, pictured above, has sleeker aesthetics and the pencil diameter knob has been redesigned for easier turning. We're linking to the updated X-ACTO School Pro in our review.The X-ACTO School Pro Electric is a workhorse pencil sharpener made for high volume usage across a variety of pencil types, including color, graphite, and charcoal of varying hardnesses. This unit has six preset pencil diameters covering a wide range of sizes up to 10 millimeters. The shavings are collected in a large, clear container, so it's easy to see when it needs emptying. This machine helps combat oversharpening (and thus, pencil waste) by disengaging the "fly away" spiral blade once it achieves a fine point. The OfficeGoods Electric and Battery Operated pencil sharpener is a nicely designed product, and it handled all the pencil types that we threw at it — namely graphite, colored, and charcoal. The machine sharpens fairly fast (7 seconds for an 8 mm graphite pencil) and, perhaps best of all, you can set the tip angle to blunt, medium, or sharp to match your intended use or preference.
