Ticonderoga My First Large Barrel Pencil Sharpener, Yellow and Green

Works great. Love how easy it workd

I don’t know why I’m so surprised at how amazing this sharpener is, considering the impeccable reputation of Ticonderoga pencils. This thing is incredible!!! It sharpens to PERFECTION…and I am the ultimate perfectionist. I sharpened about 10 pencils upon opening and it is consistently impressive. I also must mention the safety features. There is a lid that shuts so little fingers don’t get cut. The price is right…so excellent value. It is not messy, as the shavings go into a holder and it is super easy to empty it out (I already tried). The color matches the packaging for the pencils. It seems to be very durable, especially since it’s “manual.” This actually is nice though, because it means that it is easily portable. I can’t say enough great things about this product, I am pleased. I put a “before” and “after” picture for you to see for yourself!!!

I have a couple of these for my grandkids to use because they always seem to want to sharpen their pencils at the same time. I also bought one to have at school because my electric sharpener keeps getting jammed. They are easy to use and work well.

This is a great pencil sharpener for my CretaColor Megacolor pencils. Easy to carry and the canister to collect the pencil shavings is a definite plus.

I picked up the Ticonderoga My First Sharpener for pencil time at home and it’s exactly what you’d expect from Ticonderoga, basic, effective, and solidly made. It’s perfect for kids because it’s easy to use and holds up better than most generic sharpeners.

Perfect. Works exactly as you would like.

This works on the “my first pencil”s; it is HARD to find a sharpener that sharpens the little triangular pencil, but this works great! It’s very sharp inside, so I probably wouldn’t let a kid use it without watching them do it. Cheap, too!

Made in GERMANY. This pencil sharpener is well made. It sharpens large diameter pencils and regular diameter pencils. Happy with this purchase. Much better than the two poor quality sharpeners from China that broke quickly and didn’t work well.

I was a bit hesitant at first to purchase this sharpener and the coordinating pencils as I was nervous it seemed a bit "gimmicky" or like a cash grab. I was pleasantly surprised when they both arrived. The pencils that go with this sharpener have been a complete game changer for my little learners. They are an odd width so this sharpener is definitely needed for the pencils, but is worth every penny. I have never had a poor sharpen on our pencils with this bad boy and it has been one of our best purchases for our homeschool learning room.

Great for the jumbo triangle primary kids pencils!!

A really good quality sharpener.

Works great.

great quality sharpener
