Hi, I would like more information on this pencil sharpener. I am a school teacher and would like to start making a better pencil sharpener. ALL of the pencil sharpeners made today are junk. At best, even those considered the best, last one year. If you could tell me anything more about this sharpener, I would be very grateful. This one cuts with the grain and so the blades should stay sharp longer. Thanks pe
