I would not send my pencils to this guy!!! He's obviously a hack and not a Certified Pencil Sharpening Artisan (CPSA) or even a Certified Pencil Sharpening Specialist(CPSS)!! His ratio of core to barrel is way off and the angle of the point way too steep. And the amount of graphite he left on the tip would give a low shaft gripper (LSG) black fingers. Maybe getting cut rate LASIK might be okay but DO NOT TRUST YOUR VALUABLE PENCILS WITH THIS FLAKE!!!
