One issue with a pencil sharpener would be finding one that would

A bench grinder works well :-)

But I expect not as well as a belt or disc sander.

Which is what I used to use before I got a sharpener. One issue is that
the quality of these pencils varies quite a lot; some are relatively
easy to sharpen, in others the wood "binds" and the lead snaps.
