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!!!


Have you used Forrest's pencil sharpening service? They've got a great
reputation for saw blades, does the same hold true for pencils?

I'd have to buy a few extra pencils, but for a quality sharpening, it'd
be worth it.
