Dial Sharpener
Choose how your pencil point looks with the Kutsuwa Stad T’Gaal!
It features a unique dial mechanism with five sharpness settings.
Setting 5 is ideal for harder lead cores and creates long, precise points that work well for doing math.
Setting 1 sharpens to a shorter tip and is meant for softer cores like those in colored pencils.
The sharpener also has a "Close" setting that shuts the pencil opening to keep shavings from falling out.
Ratcheting Sharpener
With a Sonic Rachetta Capsule Sharpener, you don’t need to let go and re-grip your pencil as you sharpen.
Just rotate the pencil back and forth!
The Rachetta’s name gets its inspiration from ratcheting tools, like screwdrivers and wrenches.
They can be used without having to be taken out at the end of each turn.
The dial on the front lets you pick between two sharpness settings: fine and broad.
The cap also works as a holder for short hexagonal pencils.
Insert the pencil top into the cap, then grip and spin the cap to sharpen your pencil.
Sonic also makes a Ratchetta with a notification button.
Before you start sharpening, press the button.
When your pencil point is sharp and ready, the button will pop up with a click.
This is amazing if you’re worried about over-sharpening!
Double-Bladed Sharpener
Featuring two blades instead of one, the Kutsuwa Stad 2 Maiba sharpens pencils twice as quickly as a regular sharpener.
This saves time and your hands from having to exert as much effort.
And since there are two blades doing the work, the sharpener lasts longer than a conventional sharpener.
The Stad 2 Maiba’s body design is thoughtful too: its unique shape is comfortable to hold.
When you’re not using it, you can slide a latch over the opening to keep dust from falling out.
Adjustable Brass Sharpener
Don’t let its small size fool you–the Dux Adjustable Brass Sharpener has a lot to offer!
Its compact size and grooved indents make it easy to hold.
The dial on the end lets you choose from sharp, medium, or dull points,
plus it doubles as a stopper to discourage over-sharpening.
Because you can adjust the sharpness settings, it’s safe to use with fragile pencils, like colored pencils.
It has a beautiful raw brass finish that will darken and develop a unique patina with age.
It also comes with a leather case.
Two-Step Sharpener
The KUM Automatic Brake Sharpener has two holes for sharpening!
One hole shaves away the wood casing, while the other sharpens the exposed lead.
Inside, a built-in stopper acts as an automatic brake, preventing you from sharpening too much.
Its razor-sharp blades are made of high-carbon steel that resists corrosion.
When it's time to replace them, just open the top and use the included replacement blades.
It comes in red and blue.
The blue version has two smaller holes on the sides for sharpening 2.0 mm and 3.2 mm leads.
If you want something more durable, KUM's Meisterwerk Sharpener might be up your alley.
It has the same features as the Automatic Brake Sharpener but it’s constructed with strong, lightweight magnesium alloy.
The blue plastic stopper can also be removed for even longer lead tips.
Desk Sharpener
The Carl Ein Pencil Sharpener isn’t like other desk sharpeners.
The knob on the handle switches the sharpener between two settings:
a fine 0.5 mm tip for harder lead types, or a broader 0.9 mm point for softer lead cores.
To sharpen your pencil, pull out the panel with the hole,
then push the tab on top of the panel to open the sharpener hole, and insert the pencil.
The rubber components grip the pencil tightly as the tab slides back into place.
Its sturdy, rounded body is comfortable to hold while sharpening, and it doesn’t require much force to use.
Plane Sharpener
Fans of woodworking will definitely appreciate the Blackwing Høvel!
The unique sharpener lets you whittle your pencil tip however you like, similar to a traditional woodworking plane.
Unlike typical pencil sharpeners, the Høvel ensures that you won’t break the graphite.
The sharpener is made from black anodized aluminum, while the included base is made of wood.
It comes with ten spare carbon steel blades.
To use the sharpener, hold it and shave away from yourself, removing thin layers of wood each time.
Changing the angle of the Høvel allows you to create a variety of point shapes!
