Artists Sharpener Set Zinc Alloy 2pc

Two metal sharpeners that actually keep an edge — because soft art pencils shred in cheap plastic ones. Honed SK5 steel blades set in a zinc-alloy body, with a side grip so a couple of turns gives you a clean point without snapping the lead.

What you get

• Twin-barrel sharpener — 8mm and 10mm holes for standard and jumbo artist pencils
• Single-barrel sharpener — sharpens to a long draughtsman's point for fine lines
• Finely honed SK5 steel blades
• Zinc-alloy body with comfortable side grip

Best for graphite, colour and watercolour pencils, jumbo artist pencils, and anyone tired of sharpeners that chew the lead.

Note: avoid using on charcoal and pastel pencils — those are best shaped with a hobby knife. Free NZ shipping over $75.

FAQ

Why two sharpeners?
The single barrel gives a long, fine point for detail; the twin barrel handles both standard 8mm and jumbo 10mm pencils.

Can I sharpen charcoal or pastel pencils with it?
Better not to — soft charcoal and pastel leads crumble in a sharpener. Use a hobby knife for those.
