"Ultimate Sharpener Upgrade: Should You Get the Caran D'ache Machine?!" 

I watched this video and it convinced me into buying one (the red edition). I bought it in a shop in Switzerland for 97£. I am in love with this machine. What convinced me to buy one is, that you can replace the cutter-unit once it gets dull - so it's really a sharpener for a lifetime. And I love I can sharpen pencils sharp and coloring pencils blunt. I have the option to change it continuously adjustable. No other sharpener has this option. You would have to buy many different one to get the same results.

I bought a small set of Caran D’Ache Neocolors on sale and also some Swisscolors, which are marketed as children’s’ supplies, but which some RU-vidrs have said are the same product, with a different target audience. The big difference between the artist-quality and supposedly kiddie-quality was that the kiddie crayons had square ends, So, how to sharpen them? None of my rather large collection of mostly-useless pencil sharpeners (including the special ones for pastel pencils, which do work for that purpose) would work on the Neocolors. However, by determined browsing on Amazon I found a highly-recommended beauty crayon sharpener. My experience with this kind of sharpener (for sharpening lip and eye pencils) has generally not been great, but I didn’t like the art supply options for the Neocolors, either. Happy ending: the beauty pencil sharpener works perfectly on the Neocolors: sharpens even the blunt-ended kiddie crayons to a nice point without damage, unnecessary waste or any great effort or skill. Cost: £2-something, shipping included. Moral of the story: you don’t have to spend a two-figure sum to sharpen these crayons.

I just bought one, it sharpens all of my pastel pencils , Carbs, Pitts, Contes, Carans,. the price is insane But I dont want to spend more time sharpening than drawing

thats a really nice pencil sharpener

I have a question how is it holding up with pastels...someone commented it began to sharpen less and less with waxy/oily

What happens if you just pull the golden screw in the back, not all the way in and not all the way out? Can you technically get a third angle then?

It from London Graphic I mentioned it on the haul video but not this one.

Did you mention where you bought this metal version?

I got this from newyork for 200 dollars, cardboard box in silver colour

do they make one for left handers?.

HOW MUCH

Does Caran D'ache make a BUGGY WHIP straightener?
