Blackwing Long Point Pencil Sharpener Review

This is a review of the Blackwing Long Point One-Step Pencil Sharpener ( amzn.to/3vw7wp4 ). It's an all-metal, premium pencil sharpener that is nicely made and creates strong pencil points that are nice and long but not too long.

Fun fact for anybody into wooden pencils, when it comes to type of sharpening there's convex and the straight sharpening angle you see on most sharpeners.
This Blackwing one is in the Convex category, and shows about the same amount of lead as the standard Kum Longpoint, but less wood. The extreme version of this point would be the M+R Pollux, which creates a point similar to the Kum Masterpiece.
I'd say in my opinion this Blackwing one is the most balance, the Pollux is a bit extreme for me. For hand-crank sharpeners, there's the Earl Ain Sharpener for convex points and the Uni KH-20 for standard longpoints.

2 years late, and I might be wrong, but isn't it concave?

[@deep_in_the_paint]

Quite a useful video, thank you

[@KristopherCost]

Great review! I think I like this length of sharpening is more ideal than the super long one you have featured previously.

[@SocksAndPuppets]

I use a similarly priced sharpener for long points, the swordfish pointi. It's extremely good.

[@francestenn7330]

I bought one because of how cool it looks and love it 😆

[@justicekagun9632]

Bhai what's the cost I also wanna buy it nice nd cool product 😘😘👍👍

[@frankieingram848]

Yeah I was given two as separate birthday presents and both are mangling the pencils! Definitely a risk when spending that kind of money. Single sharpener cost £41 and the other was part of a set that was £54.

[@Ali-in8xi]

I too have one. Excellent item, IMO.

[@-adrians]

i want one now

[@Lanterns_light]

Is the blade standard or need to purchase a proprietary blade?
An important note

[@markusdosti2782]

Great description! Can I ask what camera you used for the registration ? Beatiful video

[@unsharpen]

just an iPhone!

[@meeguu]

Hi there! I just got one of these and I like it but it snaps off my point sometimes before I can even call it sharp.. how come?? always about at the same length. Mostly coloured pencils, is it not suitable for coloured pencils?

[@unsharpen]

Check for a tip piece that’s stuck in the sharpener, at the end of the blade!

[@meeguu]

Thanks for your reply! Its not that, theres nothing in the sharpener, but it breaks off the tip of my coloured pencil so when I take it out its broken, if that makes sense

[@WhiteVaille]

@1:36, I'd call those "detents" or "indexing tabs", or perhaps using an automotive term, "dog teeth"

[@unsharpen]

Yes thank you! I was going to say crenellations but like come on. I knew someone would know the right term

[@kamenriderblade2099]

@@unsharpen Crenellations are more used to describe the pattern of gaps on top of a defensive wall.
I'd say alignment notches is the term you were looking for.

[@WhiteVaille]

@@unsharpen I've got a question I've been curious about for some time, but wasn't sure how responsive you were to comments!
What do you do that enables you to use and go through so many writing instruments and refills? Rather, what do you do that has you writing all the time?
I understand collecting and trying out stationery for review, but I'm surprised you actually finish refills, given how many choices of instrument you have, and always have somethinig new.

[@justicekagun9632]

What's the cost sir can you provide the link where to buy this product very cool product 👍👍

[@oncekilos9637]

really nice sharpener, i never thought a sharpener could be that nice. on a different note, try to get a pop filter for your mic, it would improve your p's and t's and not saturate the audio

[@unsharpen]

Yea thanks. I was a bit too close there.

[@verveblack]

what is the point of a long point pencil?

[@unsharpen]

Sharper tip. Lasts longer. Better for shading when used at a low angle.

[@ramongibbs8692]

Obviously the brand name is the selling point. It has the same plastic cutter assemble as school house dollar store mechanisms inside.

[@ichirofakename]

1. I just love over-engineered stuff like this.
2. Still looking for a pencil sharpener that just removes the wood. Like the first sharpener in a double sharpener, but exposing more lead. Maybe such a thing doesn't exist, since pencils don't have a standardized lead diameter. Nevermind.

[@kamenriderblade2099]

There are Pencils that let you easily shave off the wooden section only.

[@ichirofakename]

@@kamenriderblade2099 How about colored pencils? That's what I really like to use unsharpened.

[@kamenriderblade2099]

@@ichirofakename I'm sure somebody makes colored lead for lead holders

[@arcadecarpet631]

@@ichirofakename I believe they are called draftsman special pencil sharpeners

[@toddz4891]

A blade & steady hand only way I sharpen :-)

[@m_a_s6069]

Why do Blackwing pencil sharpeners want you to touch graphite? At least it's better than the one that's basically a plane.

[@bugrilyus]

Still cheaper than hovel pencil plane, lol

3 time seeing you not interviewing pens.
