I found one of these in my brother's design kit and it was probably the best pencil sharpener I have ever had the delight of using. Because I've used colouring pencils in all my notes, I needed one with a canister and this pretty much fit the bill.
However, this particular one was about 8 years old (surprising enough that Swordfish are still making them thankfully) and because of that, the sharpener itself broke off from the lid of the canister (I suspect the glue must have dried up). I tried to superglue the sharpener back onto the lid, but the glue sort of oozed out of the cavity where you put the pencil through, and that totally ruined everything: there was nothing more I could have done :-(
So, I found these on the internet and purchased about 6 of them to last for a pretty long while and I have never been disappointed since. The blade is so sharp, it's a real delight to sharpen pencils and it's also nice knowing that it only takes about 3 general rotations of the pencil to bring it to point sharpness (although, I'd prefer my pencils to be little less pointy because no matter how much pencil manufacturers say, the nibs cannot be diamond-hard). You don't need to keep a firm grip on the pencil as well which shows just how sharp it is; a light grip suffices so it makes it incredibly comfortable.
All in all, I think this is perhaps a tremendous quality and economical pencil sharpener for everyday use. I'm not surprised it's a Swordfish, clearly.

Got this for my daughters schoolbag because her old sharpeners just ate her pencils and didn't do the job. This may be a simple device but it really helps to have reliable tools when you're working and this one gives you a good point without breaking in a few turns. Catches all the shavings. Looks like it will last a long time, too.

I was looking at battery operated sharpeners and then saw this. It's brillant. Sharpens to a fine point with ease and saves me running to the bin every few minutes when I'm working with pencil based art media. I will more than likely be buying a couple of spares in the near future.

It sharpens! What more do you need? :)
I've had the same Swordfish canister pencil sharpener for about 5 years now I would guess, so when my partner asked me to get a sharpener, I knew which model I would buy. Read more

Swordfish manual sharpener
I would dearly like to give a higher rating to match other reviewers however, within 1 week of use the plastic sharpener had come away from the lid - it is simply held in place... Read more

Robust and does the job
Great sharpener. Feels solid, looks lovely and it works well. Not much more to add about a pencil sharpener really!

Not sharp enough
it does the job, but the actul sharpener is plastic not metal, its quite expensive for what it is, and there is no choice of colour.

Soft Pencils - Good : Hard Pencils - Not So Good.
Very good sharpener for soft pencils but it struggles with 2H and it finds 4H impossible to deal with adequately.

Brilliant!
I purchased this pencil sharpener a couple of weeks ago, hoping for an easy to use item - I'm left handed, and always seem to have problems using a sharpener. Read more

Simple item but well made and totally effective.
After a lifetime of buying cheap pencil sharpeners or simply resorting to a pen knife, for some reason I decided to buy a decent device. In my opinion this cannot be bettered. Read more
