Manual pencil sharpener Faber-Castell 183500 Black Transparent

The Faber-Castell 183500 Black Transparent manual pencil sharpener delivers precise sharpening for graphite and colour pencils. Its compact design combines a black casing with transparent elements for easy viewing of shavings. The sharpener is intended for regular use by students, artists and professionals who need accurate pencil points and a reliable handheld tool.

Advantages

The sharpener’s quality blade ensures consistent sharpening performance and can produce very thin points with hard graphite leads and shorter, blunter points with softer colour leads. The transparent housing allows quick visual checks of the shavings container, while the compact size makes it convenient to carry. Replacing the sharpener periodically restores optimum blade performance and reduces tip breakages caused by a dull blade.

Suitable for

• Graphite pencils (sketching, technical drawing)
• Colour pencils (artwork, colouring)
• Students and school supplies
• Portable use in studios or on the go

How to use

Insert the pencil gently into the sharpening hole and rotate the pencil while holding the sharpener steady, or rotate the sharpener around the pencil to achieve the desired point. For graphite pencils you can sharpen to a finer point by rotating until the tip reaches the needed sharpness; for colour pencils, stop earlier to maintain a shorter, stronger tip. Empty the shavings container regularly to maintain performance and prevent clogging.

Usage recommendations

Replace the sharpener when sharpening quality decreases or tip breakages increase; a fresh blade maintains consistent results for both graphite and colour pencils. Clean the blade area occasionally by emptying shavings and using a soft brush to remove residue.
