Review: Spectacular! Blew My Mind! - This is the first two-stage sharpener I've owned, and I can't believe what a great tool it is. It's like having all the control of knife sharpening, but none of the hassle. If you've never used one before, you sharpen the wood in the first hole, and the graphite in second hole, so there's no guesswork. (It's not the same as sharpeners that have a small hole for regular pencils and a larger hole for wider ones.) Another advantage is you can see what you're going - there's no sticking your pencil in a hole crossing your fingers that the tip doesn't snap off. And it produces an incredibly sharp tip. I've included a comparison picture with two other sharpeners - an inexpensive Staedtler metal sharpener that I've used for years, and a Blackwing One-Pull that I received as a gift. Although the Blackwing struggled until I bought replacement blades for it, now it's fantastic, and all three produce great results. That said, the KUM is sharper, you have more control with it, and it works great every single time. It doesn't feel nearly as nice in the hand as the other tools, but, if I was getting rid of the clutter in my life and paring down to one sharpener, I'd keep the KUM Automatic without hesitation, even though it's plastic. Plus, it's CHEAP, and it includes extra blades. In terms of how much satisfaction I've gotten for such a small expenditure, this is probably one of the greatest purchases I've ever made. Highly recommended.
Review: Wonderful Sharpener for COLORED pencils too! - To keep my colored pencils sharp, I have tried dozens of sharpeners, from the pricey electric and battery powered to the cheapest and simplest handheld ones that range from $7 to 50¢. This one is the best I have found so far. I won't go into the mechanics of it, as the other reviews do that in detail, except to reiterate that sharpening with the KUM is a two step process that cannot be condensed down to one step. The first step cuts away the wood and the second sharpens the graphite or wax or whatever material the lead is made from. When I tested the KUM with colored pencils, I used every kind I had except my Derwents as they are larger than the average pencil and would be a bit too big to fit the one-size hole. However, despite a cartoon that seemed to indicate that only hexagonal pencils were appropriate for use in the sharpener, I tried my round Prismacolor Premier, my Prismacolor Verithin, Caran D'ache Pablo, Derwent Studio thin, and my round Faber Castell Polychromos pencils. What a delight to find that each and every pencil sharpened perfectly in the KUM sharpener, when I followed the 2-step process. THe points are extremely long and razor sharp, though because of this they are of course delicate and need to be handled with care. You cannot expect to press down hard on them without having them break. I will say, though, that not a single pencil broke inside the sharpener when I did my testing. In addition, when I attempted to mend a pencil with a known broken core, by "nuking" it in the microwave for 20 seconds, then using the KUM sharpener, the process actually worked the first time I did it. It was nice to know I could save a pencil I thought I had lost... Two important suggestions: 1) I chose not to close the top of the sharpener, but used it over a wastebasket every time. This allowed me to watch the pencil as I sharpened it and to see when to stop step 1. The receptacle for shavings is tiny anyway, and gets in the way of seeing what is happening to your pencil, so I recommend that you do not use it. That way you won't run the risk of cutting off too much pencil wood at a time. 2) If you are using the KUM to sharpen colored pencils, you must make sure you sharpen a graphite pencil in it at least every 5 or 6 pencils. Otherwise the exquisite sharpness of the blades will get dull too fast. (It was a stroke of either genius or kindness that the KUM people included two extra blades inside the sharpener, to be attached with just a simple screw driver. So when the original blades dull, you won't be up a creek, having to wait for another KUM to arrive by mail...) I never thought I would be giving thumbs up to one of the simplest of sharpeners as the best I have found, but there you have it: TWO THUMBS UP! Congratulations to KUM for designing a really decent pencil sharpener, one that works well and with nearly ALL pencils.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best small manual pencil sharpener made!
*by L***E on January 21, 2025*

This sharpener puts perfect, sharp, strong, points on pencils. It’s on par (or even better) than the Kum Meisterwerk (aka Masterpiece) sharpener, especially for general wiring purposes. The Meisterwerk creates a longer tapered profile than the AS2. It also catches all the wood and lead shavings so there isn’t a mess. The blades are sharp and easily cut into pencil wood (It also uses the same blades as the Meisterwerk). Highly recommended if you are looking for something reasonably priced and excellent performing.
