Specifications Brand: FABER-CASTELL Country of Brand Origin: Germany Model: 183700 / 182711 Weight: 15g / 25g Package Includes 1 x FABER-CASTELL Sleeve Mini / Twin Sharpening Box Q&A What is the benefit of a manual sharpening tool over electric versions? Manual sharpening provides greater control over the pressure and speed applied to the lead. This is critical for pencil lead protection, especially when using expensive colored pencils with soft, wax-based cores that are prone to snapping in high-speed electric motors. It allows you to feel the wood being shaved, ensuring you stop exactly when the desired point is reached. How do I clean the internal blades effectively? To maintain mess-free sharpening performance, open the sleeve and tap the reservoir over a bin. For lead buildup on the blade, use a dry, stiff brush or compressed air to dislodge particles. Avoid using water or oils directly on the metal parts to prevent oxidation, ensuring the blade remains sharp for hundreds of uses. What does Ergonomic Design mean for stationery? Ergonomic Design is the practice of creating products that optimize human well-being and overall system performance. In stationery, this means shapes that fit the natural contours of the hand, reducing muscle strain and allowing for more precise control during repetitive tasks like sharpening or writing.
