Created in 1933, this classic desktop accessory has transcended the years. Precision-made with robust metal construction, this desktop sharpener will last for generations, and will delight pencil-lovers looking for the ideal sharpening tool. Now available in Caran d’Ache’s signature red color as well as grey.

Accepts standard pencils from 4mm-10mm in diameter. A dial on the hand crank allows you to adjust point size and shape. This sharpener leaves a standard round long-point, similar to those obtainable from most two-stage handheld sharpeners. The shorter point options are better suited to colored pencils and pastels.

Note: These sharpeners may have some graphite residue in the tray. They are not “used,” but given the price point I have inspected and tested them to make sure they function properly prior to shipment. Also, this is a heavy sharpener. It comes with a clamp to secure it to the desk.
