Adjustable Pencil Sharpener – Brass

A solid and tactile brass pencil sharpener with built-in point-adjustment function.

A classic item, the adjustable sharpener has been around since the early 1950’s. The impetus for an adjustable sharpener arose from the requirement of users in different disciplines who each needed a different point on their pencils. Rather than creating several different sharpeners, came up with the ingenious idea of a single, adjustable sharpener.

Precision-made from solid brass with a raw finish, this sharpener is designed to last and will develop a different aesthetic as it ages. Recessed grip section along both edges.

Suitable for round, hexagonal and triangular standard-width pencils.

The point-adjustment function is actuated by rotating the knurled dial at the end of the sharpener. There are three point settings:

1. Short blunter point suitable for coloured pencils and leads.
2. ‘Normal’ point suitable for graphite writing pencils
3. Fine point for high-quality drawing pencils

The difference between each point is subtle, but enough to notice when writing with a pencil that has been sharpened to each setting.

Supplied in a neat leather pouch for storage. Replacement blades available.
