atquinn Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 I'm thinking a Boston Model 18? I needed to get something that is going to last more than a couple months and stand up to reasonable amounts of (children-initiated) abuse.-Austin
JohnnyB Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 All we have to do is find an extraordinarily excellent pencil sharpener priced below market value that no one has ever heard of and that went out of business about a year ago.Wouldn't Boston be the Gibson of pencil sharpeners?
kenjones Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 My wife bought a Boston and it died in about 3-4 years. She bought a School Smart about three years ago and loves it. She said it works way better than the Boston ever did.
Toadroller Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 I'm a hand-crank sharpener kinda guy, and it has to be in the basement steps ( the cellar-way, as Mrs. Toadroller likes to say) to be right.That said, Mrs. Toadroller hates hand-cranks, so I went to Staples and bought her the mac-daddy 21833 electric jobby for Christmas one year.Both Toadrollers are happy and sharp.That said, you could probably find an old school sharpener at an antiques shop that blows them all away. The old "don't make the like they used to."
