X-Acto KS Manual Pencil Sharpener

The X-Acto KS Manual Pencil Sharpener is ideal for meeting the pencil sharpening needs of schools or art studios. The design of the pencil sharpener is intended to meet the needs of multiple users while standing up to vigorous daily use. This sturdy sharpener is made with a die-cast metal base and has a sturdy metal composition. This sharpener can stand up to intense use and last for years.

Versatility is one of the best features of the design. The 8 uniquely sized holes of the sharpener can accommodate pencils of different shapes and sizes. The sharpener can also be conveniently placed in several locations. The mount allows the sharpener to be placed against a wall or on a desktop surface.

While this classic sharpener design has very few downsides, there are a few points that could be improved. In comparison to the body size, the handle of the sharpener is quiet small. A larger handle in proportion to the body of the sharpener will give users greater leverage and increase the power of the sharpener. Further, the aesthetic design of the receptacle could be modified to improve the appearance of the sharpener. A black finish would conceal wear and tear marks while a slimmer and taller design would allow the sharpener to blend in with a greater number of backgrounds and spaces.
