Review: Pratico e ben costruito! - Il Faber-Castell Temperino Grip 2001 è un temperamatite di alta qualità, compatto e funzionale. Grazie al suo design ergonomico con impugnatura antiscivolo, è molto comodo da usare e affila le matite con precisione, senza spezzare la mina. La doppia apertura per matite standard e jumbo lo rende versatile e perfetto per qualsiasi necessità. Il serbatoio integrato raccoglie i trucioli, evitando disordine, e le lame restano affilate a lungo. In sintesi, un temperino solido e affidabile, ideale sia per scuola che per ufficio. Ottimo prodotto!
Review: A versatile 3-in-1 pencil sharpener - A great flexible sharpener with three different cutting profiles for different pencil and lead types. See the photo for a comparison of the angle and length on different pencils; Staedtler Noris-Maxi (Jumbo), Staedtler Mars Lumochrom (Graphite), and Staedtler Aquarell (Colour). The sharpener cuts smoothly with easy pencil rotation, resulting in a very pointy point if required. Has decent sized receptacles for the shavings while still fitting ergonomically in my large hand. Has a small interlocking lip to seal in any stray shavings when closed — presumably to minimise mess in a pencil case. Stainless steel blades made in Germany, secured with tri-wing screws. Decent quality plastics overall, although I’m not sure how the hinge will hold up over time. Comes as is, and does not include any additional packaging or instructions. Overall a very good quality pencil sharpener for the price.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What's the difference between this sharpener and the one that comes in a blister pack and costs a little more?**
A: Not sure that I can answer that. I can tell you that is the best sharpener for colored pencils that I have found. I also found out that if you sharpen colored pencils in any sharpener, follow up with sharpening a regular graphite pencil....it removes the wax and sharpens the blades.....

**Q: Does this work with the albertch durer watercolor Faber Castell pencils?**
A: Oddly, even the slot marked "colour grip" seems too small for my Albrecht Durers. You'd think since it's all the same company they could make it fit. I can sharpen them in the giant hole on the "universal" side, though that's actually too big, so you have to be careful about holding the pencil straight.

**Q: Does this work well with colored pencils?**
A: I have mostly Prismacolor pencils (Verithin) and love the Faber-Castell Trio sharpener for them.  My calligraphy instructor recommended it and it works wonderfully for colored pencils and is supposedly better for them than an electric sharpener.  It's compact and works well!

**Q: Does this sharpen triangular pencil ?**
A: No it doesn’t sharpen Magic triangular pencils.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My favorite by far!
*by A***E on 14 February 2016*

I've only had this pencil sharpener for a week, so I hope this thing lasts! I liked it so much I recommended it to my child's school teachers. What I love about this pencil sharpener: 1. It's a good size. Small enough to fit in my supply drawer, but big enough it won't easily get lost. 2. It's closes when not in use, but is easy to open so keeps working area clean, and is easy to empty. 3. Shavings are minimal! So you can sharpen A LOT of pencils to a very sharp tip without having to empty it fifteen times! 4. It has holes for standard pencil, larger pencils like Dixon Tri-Conderoga Triangular #2 Pencils, Wood-Cased, Black, Pack of 12 (22500) larger triangular pencils AND for colored pencils! ***5. The blades are sharp enough to sharpen pencils in several seconds each (pencils that haven't been previously sharpened take longer) & with minimal effort! My four year old can sharpen a whole box of 12 colored pencils like LYRA Waldorf Selection Unlacquered Triangular Giant Colored Pencils, Set of 12 Super Ferby (3711121) in 5-7 minutes! 6. They don't break my colored pencil lead as easily as other sharpeners! Update: One drawback, the hinge breaks easily, so it’s hard to keep the two sides (one built for oversized & irregular pencils, the other for colored pencils) together :(. But they are still functional &!very good at sharpening pencils!
