The Oxford 1 Hole Metal Sharpener is an ideal tool for students, artists, and office professionals who require a consistent, reliable point for standard-sized pencils. Its primary benefit lies in its heavy-duty zinc alloy construction and tempered steel blade, which ensure long-lasting durability and sharp precision, though users should note it is designed specifically for standard diameter pencils and will not accommodate oversized or jumbo graphite instruments.

It works with standard-sized colored pencils, provided they are not jumbo-sized.
The blade is secured with an anti-tamper screw for safety; it is not intended for consumer blade replacement.
Yes, the anti-tamper screw design helps ensure the blade remains safely contained within the metal housing.
This pack contains 20 individual sharpeners.
While made of durable zinc alloy, it is best to keep it in a dry environment to maintain the finish and steel blade integrity.
Ensure you are using standard-sized pencils and avoid applying excessive downward pressure while twisting.
Check the blade chamber for graphite buildup and clear it; if the blade remains dull, ensure no adhesive from decorative pencils has stuck to the edge.
Ensure your grip is aligned with the ergonomic indentations on the sides of the zinc body.
This sharpener requires no assembly and is ready for immediate use out of the package. It is strictly compatible with standard 8mm diameter pencils. To maintain peak performance, periodically tap out any residual graphite dust accumulated in the blade chamber. Do not attempt to force non-standard pencils into the aperture, as this may dull the blade or damage the internal alignment. Store in a dry place to prevent potential corrosion of the metal components over many years of service.
