The quality of a pencil sharpener—especially the blade—is crucial for optimal sharpening of wooden pencils. Because of their sturdy and hard leads, graphite pencils can be sharpened to a very fine point. Because of their softer leads, colored pencils are sharpened to a shorter and blunter point. For optimal sharpening, we recommend replacing your pencil sharpener every so often, as the sharpening blade becomes dull over time, resulting in more broken points.
