Manual pencil sharpener Linex PS 500 — brass body, single-piece desktop sharpener

Linex PS 500 is a manual pencil sharpener with a solid brass body designed for desktop use. The compact single-piece unit is intended for sharpening standard pencils and combines durable metal construction with a straightforward manual mechanism. Its robust brass housing provides long service life and stability on a work surface, making it a practical tool for offices, classrooms and hobby workspaces where a reliable metal sharpener is preferred.

Advantages

The brass body resists wear and provides a consistent sharpening angle for standard pencils. The single-piece desktop design reduces wobble during use and simplifies handling and storage. Metal construction offers greater durability compared with plastic sharpeners and maintains performance over prolonged use. The compact dimensions make it easy to place on a desk or in a pencil cup while the manual operation requires no power or maintenance beyond occasional blade replacement if needed.

Suitable for

• Sharpening standard graphite pencils in offices
• Use in classrooms and educational settings
• Art and hobby work where a stable metal sharpener is required
• Desktop use in studios, workshops and home offices

Key specifications

• Body material: brass
• Type: manual single-piece desktop sharpener

How to use

Insert a standard pencil into the sharpening hole and rotate the pencil clockwise while holding the sharpener steady on a flat surface. Continue rotating until the desired point is achieved, then withdraw the pencil and check the tip. If necessary, repeat briefly to refine the point. The manual mechanism requires only user-applied rotation; no batteries or electrical connection are needed. If the blade becomes dull over time, replace it according to standard pencil sharpener maintenance procedures to restore cutting performance.

Usage recommendations

For best results, hold the sharpener firmly on a stable surface and sharpen with smooth, even rotations. Use only standard pencils to match the sharpening hole size. Store the sharpener in a dry place to minimise corrosion and handle the brass surface with clean hands to maintain its appearance. Replace the blade if sharpening becomes uneven or requires excessive force.
