I'm a school teacher and I have one of these in my classroom.

X-ACTO Ranger 55 Manual Pencil Sharpener with suction cup base.
I used to own this planetary gears sharpener with an 1896 patent until a collector in Germany took it off my hands.

I do have a couple of cheap plastic generic sharpeners, but I tend to either use a pocket knife for sharpening wooden pencils, or use a mechanical pencil instead.

Here are the best two sharpeners I have come across:
1) Mobius + Ruppert Grenade Brass Bullet Shaped Pencil Sharpener.
2 Kum masterpiece sharpener
I attached links, but you can find the sharpeners cheaper elsewhere.

I was once told that in the USA it was possible to purchase a model V10 Chrysler Viper engine - powering a pencil sharpener. I didn't belileve it but was amused by the idea.
Meanwhile kind friends, with a nod to my moniker and enthusiasm, bought this one for me. Lovely!

I have so many. I use the Palomino KUM Blackwing sharpener, a Rachetta, a Kutsuwa Stad T-Gaal, and M & R Studio sharpener, and a plain Jane Kum sharpener . I like all of them, but I probably use the Sonic Rachetta the most frequently.

I coveted the adjustable Dux sharpener as a kid. Finally got one last year. My other sharpener is a cheap Kum with a domed plastic lid. I sometimes use a pen knife to produce elongated and faceted points. No reason.
