Review: Excellent sharpener, priced just right! - This pencil sharpener certainly lives up to the X-Acto name!!! It sharpens even the thickest (Ticonderoga's "My First" pencils) with ease, and what I also liked about the degree of sharp-ness was that there was very little waste of the wood, making pencils last longer. This matters when you are using specialty drawing pencils. My only concern was with the screws provided for mounting, they seemed rather small for withstanding the use of a sharpener. I used drywall screws, and they secured the sharpener to the board I used just fine. Very quiet, haven't had any jamming issues. The holes for the pencils accommodate a very wide selections of pencils, so I am very happy with this purchase. Review: Awesome old school pencil sharpener - Sharpens pencils beautifully just like back in the day in school. I've needed one for years for woodworking and other projects. It gets old sharpening pencils with a utility knife. Mounted easily to my workbench. I love it what can I say? ## Features - Commercial grade pencil sharpener for high volume environments - Dual helical cutters sharpen pencils with precision - Mountable on wall, desk, or table with the included screws - Adjustable to accommodate 8 pencil sizes - Manual operation is easy for school children to use ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00006IEDY | | Additional Features | Heavy Duty | | Best Sellers Rank | #4,736 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #45 in Pencil Sharpeners | | Brand | X-Acto | | Brand Name | X-Acto | | Color | Silver/Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 29,488 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00079946010312 | | Included Components | pencil-sharpeners | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 4.25"D x 2.75"W x 4.75"H | | Item Part Number | 1031 | | Item Type Name | pencil-sharpeners | | Item Weight | 10.4 ounces | | Manufacturer | Elmers | | Manufacturer Part Number | 1031 | | Material | Alloy Steel | | Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Model Number | EPI1031 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Power Source | Manual | | Specific Uses For Product | Pencil | | Target Audience | Student | | UPC | 079946010312 079946110319 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 10 year warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** X-Acto - **Color:** Silver/Black - **Material:** Alloy Steel - **Power Source:** Manual - **Specific Uses For Product:** Pencil ## Images ![X-ACTO KS Manual Pencil Sharpener, Mountable, Metal, 1 Count - Classroom, Teacher Supplies, Adjustable for 8 Pencil Sizes - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71rWXk1BnyL.jpg) ![X-ACTO KS Manual Pencil Sharpener, Mountable, Metal, 1 Count - Classroom, Teacher Supplies, Adjustable for 8 Pencil Sizes - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61jVUa2dgBL.jpg) ![X-ACTO KS Manual Pencil Sharpener, Mountable, Metal, 1 Count - Classroom, Teacher Supplies, Adjustable for 8 Pencil Sizes - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ZLS8LPNeL.jpg) ![X-ACTO KS Manual Pencil Sharpener, Mountable, Metal, 1 Count - Classroom, Teacher Supplies, Adjustable for 8 Pencil Sizes - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71s-X0eXR5L.jpg) ![X-ACTO KS Manual Pencil Sharpener, Mountable, Metal, 1 Count - Classroom, Teacher Supplies, Adjustable for 8 Pencil Sizes - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71R47hESMaL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does it have one or two rollers (the spiral sharpeners)?** A: It has two spiral rollers. **Q: Is it possible to mount this vertically?** A: I know this question was asked almost 10 years ago, but I must get this off my chest, lol! You can mount the base on a tabletop, on a wall, or under a tabletop. I would never mount it under a table, because I would be afraid of hitting my knuckles on the underside of the table. Plus, you can't see what you're doing. Whichever way you mount the base, you should always make sure your screws don't poke through the other side of the mounting surface, and you should always put the metal cover over it so that the "longish part" points downward. That way, the cover can hold more shavings before you'll need to empty it. People mount it so that the longish part points backward toward the wall, and that's not right. The shavings always fall. Back in the 1960s and 70s, we learned about how this fancy thing called GRAVITY works. Maybe they don't teach that in schools anymore. Or maybe gravity was a new thing for us in the 60s and so we had to learn all about it! Well, one thing is for certain: If the unit fills up too much, then the shavings will become compacted inside and could interfere with proper operation. And they'll be messier to remove. I suggest a family rule: Once all the kids are old enough to handle this, the FIRST PERSON to use the pencil sharpener each day must empty it. Yes, into the trash basket that you've strategically placed on the floor beneath it. With a liner in the basket. That way it never fills up and doesn't make a big mess when you need to take out the garbage! When I was a kid, we had the best one ever made, I think it was boston or bostitch, or something like that. It LOOKED like this one, but that one was very very sturdy, like a '68 Chevy. This one appears to be made of thin sheet metal. And the cutting spirals (people call them rollers; whatever) never wore out or needed to be sharpened. **Q: Is this made in USA??** A: No, but the quality of the sharpening is excellent. The size guide is a bit flimsy though. However, since I only use ONE size pencil, the size guide is superfluous. Note that MANY things come from China are excellent. for example, Laowa camera lenses. The Sony SEL200600G zoom. I have both. And there are excellent quality Made In China Seiko watches. However, there IS a lot of trash coming from China too. China is the corner-cutter of the World! It should be recognized that location of manufacture does NOT mean better quality. There are a lot of trash products Made In USA too. **Q: What is the material it's made of like? A couple reviewers said flimsy metal, another said chrome-plated plastic. I'm confused!** A: I was surprised at how *substantial* the box felt when it arrived (it was only about $12 after all...). I think that stainless steel is a combination of iron and tin and the hollow body of this contraption feels more like stainless steel than that of a tin can and it is shinier than a tin can also and perhaps more thick. I read the previous three answers and if not all, many of them spoke of the cast mounting base -- that feels like an iron skillet and is quite heavy. You will not be able to mount this lovely cutting machine onto a hollow door. Get it! You will probably be at the least happy with it or as me, surprised by how good it is given the price and how many of these things have not seemed to have made it into the new millennium with its 1950's and 1960's integrity in tact. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent sharpener, priced just right! *by C***N on August 24, 2026* This pencil sharpener certainly lives up to the X-Acto name!!!

I've needed one for years for woodworking and other projects. It gets old sharpening pencils with a utility knife. Mounted easily to my workbench. I love it what can I say? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Similar to what I remember from school *by C***S on July 29, 2026* This is probably the most reliable and consistent way to sharpen a pencil. I mounted it in the garage and it cleanly sharpens pencils. I previously tried small plastic handheld sharpeners, but the graphite kept breaking; I wondered if it was an issue with the quality of the pencil, but I didn't have that problem sharpening the same pencils with the X-ACTO sharpener. ## Frequently Bought Together - X-ACTO KS Manual Pencil Sharpener - Amazon Basics Woodcased Classroom #2 Pencils with Erasers, Pre-sharpened, HB Lead, Value Pack of 30 count, Orange - STAEDTLER Pencil Sharpener (1 Pack) with Screw Lid and Tub - No Spill Compact Design for Standard and Colored Pencils, Metal Blade, Assorted Colors --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/1661604-x-acto-ks-manual-pencil-sharpener-mountable-metal-1-count](https://www.desertcart.be/products/1661604-x-acto-ks-manual-pencil-sharpener-mountable-metal-1-count) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-09-06*
