What about those fancy Blackwings? Blackwing pencils haven’t really clicked with me — partially because the balance feels off to me when holding them. Many of the designs are nice, but wow are they pricey! And I seem to keep getting pencils with broken lead inside that just won’t sharpen. YMMV

But, the Blackwing long point sharpener is fantastic — also pricey, but it makes a great long point that’s slightly concave. My biggest gripe is that the shavings and lead dust will spill out if you throw it in your bag. It’s best to just keep it upright at your desk.
