Prismacolor - Premier Sharpener

Premier Sharpener

Dial in your perfect point with adjustable angles for detailed or broad work

Prismacolor's Premier Sharpener handles the soft, wax-based cores of colored pencils without the crumbling and breakage that plague standard sharpeners. High-quality steel blades cut cleanly through pigment-rich leads, while dual apertures let you choose between wide angles for sketching or narrow points for detailed work. The translucent casing shows accumulated shavings at a glance, and the attached cover contains them completely until you're ready to empty, essential when working away from a waste basket.

Soft-core pencils demand sharp blades and proper angles. Generic sharpeners designed for graphite often grip too aggressively or cut at angles that stress waxy leads until they snap. This sharpener's geometry accounts for the specific properties of Premier pencils, maintaining the delicate balance between sharp points and core integrity. The steel blade stays sharp through repeated use, delivering consistent results rather than degrading into the ragged, uneven points that come from dull cutters.

Keep one at your drawing table and another in your travel kit. The secure cover means no loose shavings migrating through your bag or workspace.
