Classroom Friendly Pencil Sharpeners by far are the best sharpener out there.  I was a little skeptical at first, not believing and hand-crank pencil sharpener could do a better job than an electrical sharpener.  But let me tell you, I've sharpened close to 1,000 pencils and it was phenomenal!  When I brought it into my classroom, the students would wait in line to use the "cool" sharpener instead of the electrical one.  Perfect points every time!  Bonus: it's SUPER quiet!  Definitely worth every penny!  Visit here to find out all of the details.
