Calling all ol' timers

I'm looking for a good and reasonably priced, battery powered pencil sharpener for graphite and color. I don't need anything super fancy, but something that won't plug up with color and sharpens well.

Which program are you looking for it to work with?

:wink:

Sorry ... all of mine are strictly plug-in!

I've used a nice battery-powered Boston model-EB for years. Works fine with std. wood and colored pencils and the large-lead 314 draughting pencils. It's about 3x5 inches by 2 inches wide and runs on four AA-batteries...and the shavings compartment seals tight and empties easily.

You might find one on E-Bay, or maybe one of the drafting supply sites like Drawing Board or Drafix.
