This KUM Automatic Long Point Pencil Sharpener AS3 is a two step long cone sharpener. The sharpener has a small angle in it that allows an extremely long and thin point to be formed. With the KUM Automatic Long Point Pencil Sharpener AS3, the first blade removes wood from the lead until it reaches the automatic stop. The 2nd blade sharpens the lead to an extra long point. The automatic stop prevents further sharpening. Your pencil point will stay sharp longer than when sharpened using a standard sharpener. The sharpener blade is made of ultra-hard (65 hrc) and razor-sharp high carbon steel. TIP! As the point is long and thin, only high quality pencils are suitable for use with this sharpener. Price per sharpener.
