Unbelievable value for money! This sharpener, both KUM and Faber Castell make the exact same one. Maybe other companies make it too, like M+R and Faber Castell, they are my favorites! (It sharpens perfectly, has a great feel and stability for its size). It is smaller than it looks in the pictures, but it has a hole so you can attach it somewhere with a string, so it doesn't get lost! In sharpeners, if you know, yes it is true that you get what you pay for, like everywhere else, but there are cases like this one, or like the KUM Long Point, where you pay less than half a euro, nothing basically, and you get an incredibly high-quality product that works not just flawlessly, but literally perfectly!!! I would recommend getting at least 2-3. I say this because I regretted it, (I didn't expect to get something that I would easily pay 10 euros for, for the quality it offers, for less than 30 cents... It takes up neither space nor weight, it works flawlessly!
