Pencil Staedtler 512 006

The Staedtler 512 006 sharpener has two sharpening holes to accommodate different pencil types. One hole is for standard blacklead pencils up to 8.2 mm Ø and sharpens to a 23° angle for precise, clear lines. The other hole accepts thicker blacklead and coloured pencils up to 10.2 mm Ø and sharpens to a 30° angle for broader, softer strokes. The sharpener features a hinged cover that collects shavings and a lid with a safety lock to prevent accidental opening.

Advantages

Two dedicated holes allow reliable sharpening for both standard and thick pencils without damaging tips. The 23° and 30° sharpening angles provide control over line precision and softness. The hinged cover contains shavings, reducing mess, and the safety-lock lid prevents unwanted spills during transport or storage.

Suitable for

• Standard blacklead pencils up to 8.2 mm Ø
