Love these pencils but they are NOT "easily sharpened with the larger hole of any two-hole sharpener." I have tried 4 different sharpeners with no success. And using a penknife is too difficult. Anyone have a way that works?

So well made, are like the chunky Crayola crayons for younger children! Reduces pain for people afflicted with finger, hand, and wrist problems. Art is fun again! I am totally shocked at how well designed these pencils are. They sharpen easy. The colors are bright and blendable. Because these are large triangle shaped pencils, they behave, staying on the table. I spend less time trying to catch a runaway red pencil and more time having fun. Suitable for all ages. Younger children armed with high quality art pencils? These do not bend under the pressure. This is the perfect gift for someone with an illness. Teamed with an artist coloring book from Dover books, sold here as well, or a blank drawing journal, these pencils sure would brighten any rainy day, bringing color to one's own world. I do plan on buying more. And some more until I have every color twice over. Great product! Great service! I tell all my friends to shop at MisterArt.com now for the low prices, and inventory selections. At MisterArt.com, best of all, no one has used the product prior to purchase. Thank you MisterArt.com! For capturing my heart once again! I keep coming back for more but I spend a lot less. Buy one, see for yourself. Or, take my word for it! I am very happy, now that I can draw without pain and hand fatigue.

GREAT PENCILS! Wish they had more gray scale variety though.

I am impressed with the quality and color purity in these big pencils. I intend to stock several more colors right away. I already have a multi-size sharpener, no problem.
