Manual pencil sharpener KUM 400-1 — metal, silver, 16×26×12 mm

The Wedo KUM 400-1 manual pencil sharpener is a compact metal block sharpener designed for standard pencils with an 8 mm diameter. Its small silver metal housing provides a durable sharpening tool that fits easily into a pencil case, pocket, or desk drawer.

Advantages

The metal construction offers lasting durability and a steady sharpening action while the single-hole block design keeps the pencil stable during use. The replaceable blade ensures continued performance without needing to replace the entire sharpener, and the compact dimensions make it convenient for everyday carry and storage.

Suitable for

• Standard wooden pencils with an 8 mm diameter
• Students and office use where a small, reliable sharpener is needed
• Art and sketching when a precise point is required

When it may not be suitable

This sharpener is not intended for oversized or specialty pencils with diameters larger than 8 mm, mechanical pencils, or crayons. It also does not include a shaving container, so use in situations where shavings containment is required may be inconvenient.

Key specifications

• Type: Manual single-hole block sharpener
• Material: Metal housing
• Blade: Replaceable metal blade compatible with KUM 4004 replacement blades

How to use

Insert the sharpenable pencil tip into the single hole and rotate the pencil while holding the sharpener steady. For best results, apply gentle, even pressure and check the point frequently to avoid over-sharpening. If the blade becomes dull, replace it with a compatible KUM 4004 spare blade following the blade replacement instructions supplied by the blade manufacturer.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your pencil diameter is 8 mm to fit the single hole
• Decide whether a sharpener without a shavings container meets your needs
• Check availability of KUM 4004 replacement blades if long-term use is required

Usage recommendations

For a clean, controlled point, rotate the pencil rather than the sharpener and replace the blade when sharpening becomes uneven or requires excessive force.
