Product Description
From El Casco, a Spanish company with a long history in metalwork, this heirloom-quality pencil sharpener makes a statement in any office. The solid brass body is lacquered in your choice of finishes, entirely matte with the exception of two mirrored side panels Read More
I have all seven colors--worth every dime I paid for them. Can't tell you how many pencils I've ground to dust since receiving them--and I use a different color everyday--what joy!
So what exactly does this pencil sharpener do that a cheap electric sharpener or a classic crank sharpener doesn't do that it's worth 420$ more MSRP? Because I'm just seeing a massive rip off.
I'll take good over great. My personal favorite, and best writing pen, is a Pilot Metropolitan Retro. Let's round that price up to 20$ for simplicity. The first pelikan pen that comes up on Amazon is 130$. So the Pelikan might be great, but is it 110$ better than the Metropolitan?
ZeiredNah, that Pelikan is only worth around $70, and in fact that's what they charge for it in Germany. Pelikan's US distributor has decided to go crazy with massive price increases every year and worse and worse after sales customer service. They're full Mont Blanc now. But basically any of the >$100 Pilots are that much better than the Metro. Same goes for Diplomat or the Lamy 2000.
This looks so cool, but I just cannot pull the trigger on the price. I mean, at $100 it would be a no-brainer, but at almost $400, I would expect personalization or something.
That looks like an exceptionally good pencil sharpener and looks great too.
Still, I have trouble understanding why it costs more than a kitchen aid standing mixer.

One of the silliest things I've seen on Massdrop - and that includes the overpriced "tactical" pen. A fool and his $ are soon parted and it would take quite the fool to buy this.
