Faber-Castell Art & Graphic 9000 Double-Hole Pencil Sharpener

The quality of a sharpener especially the blade is crucial for optimum sharpening of wood-clad pencils. Due to their robust and hard leads graphite pencils can be sharpened to a very thin point. Given their softer leads colour pencils are sharpened to a shorter and blunter point. For optimum sharpening it is recommended to replace the sharpener now and then because the sharpener blade will become blunt over time. This results in more tip breakages.The Faber Castell 9000 dual sharpener features two high-grade titanium-plated sharpening blades that guarantee simple and clean sharpening. It is ideal for standard and jumbo pencils and is mess-free with a built-in box for pencil shavings.
