    It’s not exactly quiet but it is not high pitched i think that’s why it sounds “quiet”


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    You’ll need to do this over a few pencils to get the hang of it

    My one complaint is the instructions


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It should not take much for them to write a simple push the black button on the back of the unit to remove or empty the compartment


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It cost more than average when i bought it back in the 1980’s which by the makes it about forty years old

    The maker was pretty much the defacto standard for hand crank sharpeners for most of the twentieth century


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Not only do i still have it but i use it several times a week and the only maintenance i have ever done to it was to empty the shavings bin every couple of months
