Westcott 15234 2-Hole Crayon and Pencil Sharpener Assorted

The Westcott 15234 is a handheld two-hole manual sharpener built for the practical reality of working with both pencils and crayons in the same session. The two holes are sized differently — one for standard pencils, one for standard crayons — so you're always inserting into the right aperture for a clean, centered cut. The stainless steel blades handle both wax-based crayons and wood-cased pencils without the gumming or tearing you sometimes see with cheaper blades. A transparent shavings receptacle with a snap-on lid keeps the mess contained and visible, so you know when to empty it before it overflows.

This sharpener is designed for light-duty use — home desks, office supply kits, classroom supply bins. It is small enough to disappear into a pencil case and light enough that you won't notice it in a bag. The trade-off for that portability is volume capacity: the receptacle is modest, and the blades are not replaceable, which positions the 15234 as an inexpensive consumable rather than a long-term precision tool. The assorted color packaging means you get whatever color is in stock, which matters less in a classroom or shared supply context and more when you're buying for a specific personal kit. For anyone who needs a reliable, portable, dual-use sharpener that doesn't overthink the job, it delivers exactly that.
