If you have Lyra graphite crayons, you need this ...
I was shopping for a sharpener that could sharpen chalk without breaking it. This has helped to make my job so much easier! This sharpener is more than I could have asked for. It sharpens the chalk smoothly and can bring the point to a fine end.

Fantastic sharpener for extra hefty pencils!
I picked this up since I adore sketching and was looking for something that gave cleaner sharper points than a regular sharpener, and this absolutely delivered. It does not feel cheap or flimsy and stays steady while sharpening which gives you a lot more control. It works wonderful on colored pencils, charcoal, and regular sketching pencils without breaking the tips which I was absolutely happy about. I cherish having a tool that actually supports creative hobbies rather of making them more frustrating. If you draw or hue a lot, this is such a smart little upgrade and wholly worth it! Being able to adjust the nib length is such a cool feature and makes a big difference depending on what you are drawing. This has quickly become my go to sharpener when I am working on art projects due to the fact it just performs so well. There is something oddly satisfying about getting that faultless long sharp point!!What I really appreciate is how robust it appears.

FAQs
How to sharpen graphite crayon?
To sharpen a thick graphite crayon, use a specialized large-bore sharpener like this twelve millimeter manual tool. Insert the crayon gently into the hole and rotate it clockwise against the precision blade until the desired point is achieved without applying excessive pressure.
What's the difference between a pencil sharpener and a crayon sharpener?
Standard pencil sharpeners have smaller openings around eight millimeters and different blade angles meant for hard wood and graphite. A crayon sharpener features a wider opening, typically twelve millimeters, and a specialized blade angle designed to slice through softer, thicker wax or heavy graphite cores without clogging.
Can this sharpener be used for standard school pencils?
This particular sharpener is specifically designed for oversized twelve millimeter art crayons and jumbo pencils. Standard school pencils are too slim to align properly with the blade in this single-hole large format design.
