Depends on the quality of both sharpener and pencil
I used to have a really nice hand sharpener that fit a pencil perfectly so it wouldn't wobble. I also always buy high quality pencils with HB2 leads. Not that I buy traditional pencils anymore. I'm a click pencil kinda guy.

I only use a pencil when I'm marking boards and stuff for cutting and drilling and such, I have some of those big fat carpenter pencils and use the sharpener on them.
How about this thing? This is mounted on the next board over from the pencil sharpener.

Is that a hand cranked grinder/sharpener?

Yep, that groove in the center I take it is for knife blades and such, although it is old and does not work all that well. I have even been able to sharpen drill bits on it when I feel like playing around.
