El Casco Chrome & Black Pencil Sharpener

The sharpening mechanism, featuring six revolving blades, is designed to put a slightly different point on the pencil than you are used to seeing. The tip of the point is slightly flat, which avoids the problem of the point breaking when you first touch the paper.

If you wish to have a slightly sharper tip, then just lightly rub the tip of the pencil on the grated edge of the filings drawer.

Additionally, please note that you have the choice of three points in length, by moving a selection screw on the side of the sharpener.
