Giant Wooden Pencil

Product Information

Electric sharpeners can be either mains or battery powered. Any sharpener using mains power, like our Electric Pencil Sharpener, you can really only use in the studio. They’re quite bulky, and you’ll always need a power outlet nearby. Both our battery powered models ( Derwent and Jakar) are much more lightweight. However, they are still more bulky than a standard sharpener and aren’t exactly what most artists would consider to be ‘portable’. There’s nothing stopping you popping one in a bag and taking it on your travels though – although some extra batteries might be worth taking too.

You’re Using the Wrong Type of Sharpener

The humble pencil sharpener is an age-old accessory that no artist should be without. Some artists prefer the hands on approach of a manual sharpener that puts you firmly in control. Other artists, especially prolific pencil users, may prefer to save time and use an electric sharpening machine. There’s so much choice available, and so many different types of pencils, that it can be mind boggling trying to find the best sharpener for your materials. Here we compare our sharpeners side by side to help you select the perfect one. Pencil Shavings should be long and continuous from a sharpener with a good blade. If you find that your sharpenings are breaking off into small, jagged shards then your blade will probably need replacing. In 2002 a giant version of the Faber-Castell 9000 pencil set the record for the world’s largest pencil. It is housed in a specially built glass building to show it off in all its glory. The pencil was built from local Malaysian timber and the graphite core was manufactured in Germany and then shipped to Malaysia. If you want to see the pencil it is at the Faber-Castell building in Subang Jaya, Malaysia. Giant Panda Pencil Case, Zip Pouch, Giant Panda Pouch, Stationery, Giant Panda Gift, Stationery, Stationery Gift Our range of sharpeners can be split broadly into four categories: simple manual sharpeners, reservoir sharpeners, crank sharpeners, electric sharpeners and other sharpening accessories. Aside from our sharpening accessories, these groups of sharpeners will work using either a single blade or helical sharpening mechanism. Single Blade SharpenersMy deep-rooted passion for pens and pencils led me to become a part-time blogger, where I've dedicated myself to sharing the wealth of knowledge I've amassed over the years. In the photo, you can see Count Anton Wolfgang von Faber-Castell with a giant triangular shaped Faber-Castell Grip 2001 pencil. The pencil’s wood case is made from Weymouth Pine and it was photographed with the count in front of the family castle at Stein near Nuremberg. There’s a more complex mechanism in a helical sharpener, so they can be a bit more difficult to maintain. If you find that a helical sharpener isn’t working as it should it’s quite possible that there is loose lead caught in the blade. You should be able to release the helical blade by unscrewing it via the crank. Remove the blade and dust it gently with a paint brush or other brush to get rid of any loose fragments. Some debris can be more difficult to shift. If you find a brush isn’t getting rid of it, try tapping the sharpener firmly on a solid surface. This should jolt the debris free. If your blade is clean but no longer sharpening well it’s probably time to replace the machine or buy a new blade where available.
