Derwent Super Point Mini sharpener
Product description
A reliable manual helical pencil sharpener for getting a consistent point with less fuss. The Derwent Super Point Mini combines a high quality helical blade with a handy shavings reservoir and a desk clamp, so you can sharpen comfortably at your workstation. It’s a practical choice for artists, students, and anyone who wants their pencils ready for detailed work and everyday drawing. 🖊️
Key points
If you sharpen pencils at a desk, having a secure setup makes a noticeable difference. This manual sharpener uses a helical blade design that helps you achieve a sharp point, which is useful for line work and controlled shading. The front section extends to support the sharpening action, while the shavings compartment keeps mess contained during use. ✏️
Emptying is straightforward thanks to the sliding out reservoir feature. When you need cleaning, the blade can be removed, which helps you maintain performance over time. On top of the sharpening function, the included desk clamp helps keep the unit steady while you work, so it feels more like a stable studio tool than a portable gadget. 🧠
The Super Point Mini is also sized for everyday pencil use, and it suits pencils up to 8 mm in diameter, as stated by the manufacturer. That makes it well matched to common drawing and classroom pencils, as well as many general sketching needs. It’s an easy pick if you want dependable results without switching to an electric sharpener.
Worth noting, it’s designed around the specified pencil diameter, so if you mainly use wider or specialty pencils, you may want to double check compatibility before buying.
What’s included
You get 1 x set of the Derwent Super Point Mini manual sharpener in black. The pack is listed as a single item, with the sharpener supplied as one complete desk companion. The set is described as suitable for pencils up to 8 mm in diameter, so it’s a good match for standard pencil sizes.
The design includes a compartment for collecting shavings and a desk clamp to secure the unit to your work surface. There is also a removable blade for cleaning, which is helpful when you want to keep the sharpener ready for regular use. If you share a desk with others or keep art supplies organised, the refill free approach can make your setup feel simpler.

Who it’s for
It’s a good fit if you regularly sharpen pencils at home, in a school setting, or in a studio where desk space is available. You’ll likely appreciate the clamp if you prefer sharpening without the sharpener moving around, especially during longer sessions. It also makes sense if you want a straightforward manual tool with easy emptying and maintenance.
It may not suit you if you mainly use pencils larger than 8 mm in diameter. If you prefer fully portable sharpening away from your desk, the clamp design means you may set it up once and leave it in place. For most everyday drawing and learning routines, this Derwent model offers a practical balance of control, cleanliness, and upkeep.
