Just like they used to be - heavy and sturdy, and built to last. Large high-capacity transparent tray for the sharpenings, so you don't have to empty too often. Shiny metal parts and grey painted body. Adjustable point length, so you can get a really sharp tip on strong graphite pencils, but adjust for more practical blunt tips for coloured pencils where the tip would just snap off when over-sharpened. Even includes a clamp and wingnut to attach the sharpener firmly to your desk. Suitable for pencils between 7 and 11.6mm wide. While the blade should last a long time, the whole shapener is built to last, so replacement blades are available for when you've sharpened so many pencils the blade is getting blunt. That's a lot of pencils. This Desktop Pencil Sharpener from Jakar features a hand crank type system, allowing for quick, stable, and efficient sharpening. It is suitable for 7.8 - 11.5mm diameter pencils. The sharpener has a sleek silver grey metal body and features a metal cutter and a desk clamp. They come individually packed in transparent PVC box with an instruction leaflet. A replacement cutter can be found here.

The Jakar Crank Desk Top Pencil Sharpener offers a durable, old-fashioned solution with a high-capacity tray and adjustable point length, ensuring your pencils are always ready. Note that while this sharpener is built to last, replacement blades are available when needed.
