Turn the adjustment knurl to one of 3 positions to achieve a blunt, regular or very sharp point.

Comes with a black genuine leather case.

At the beginning of the 50's DUX developed a sharpener which makes it possible to set the sharpness of the pencil point in three variations. The impetus arose out of inquiries from users in different disciplines who wanted to have the leads of their pencils at different sharpnesses. A technical draftsman or an architect, for example, likes a very sharp point, while a designer or an artist prefers a rather blunt pencil for sketching.

The variable sharpener takes account for these different applications. A knurl attached to the end of the sharpener makes it possible to adjust it for three different pencil points. The knurl can be heard and felt clicking into place when it is turned. Depending on the setting, the pencil is allowed to enter more or less deeply into the interior of the sharpener. The precisely set angle between the cone and the blade then produces the desired point.

Even delicate cosmetic pencils can be sharpened with minimal wastage.

This sharpener is made of solid brass, protected with a transparent varnish, and comes in a genuine leather case, with instructions.
