Can you sharpen Prismacolor pencils with a normal sharpener?

Any brand-new pencil sharpener may do a decent job with Prismacolors. If you are using a normal one, try the wide-hole side rather than the narrow hole you use for Verithins and normal pencils. It’s a little gentler on the point and less likely to twist the core.

Can pencil sharpeners be sharpened?

When the handle of the sharpener is turned, the rotary blades turn around the pencil, shaving off bits of wood. Dull blades may be sharpened with a small file. Disassemble the pencil sharpener. Note how the pencil sharpener is put together so you will be able to reassemble it after sharpening the blades.

Do pencil sharpeners get dull?

However, sometimes the blades on handheld sharpeners get dull or clogged, and have to be replaced or cleaned. Luckily, taking the blades out is very easy. All you need is a screwdriver and a few minutes of patience. When you get the blades out, you can clean or sharpen them to keep your pencil sharpener in top shape.
