Recs on specific sharpeners that’ll get the job done without chewing up and wasting the pigment? Or tips? Am I doing something stupid without realizing maybe?

Got 3 UD liners on impulse and quickly reminded why I swore off for years. Lose half a $25 pencil to sharpener or breaking tips using, especially ones with lots of sparkle. Don’t have it now, but don’t remember their sharpener doing any better.

    Are you trying to get them really sharp? I go through one UD Rockstar pencil a year and have had the same UD Grindhouse sharpener forever. The only issue I’ve had was a pencil where the “lead” was broken way far down, so it kept sliding out. But I’m never trying to make it sharp, just get product above the wood.
