A rant about pencil sharpeners

Postby Eric » Mon Jan 11, 2010 6:38 am

I'm a pencil and paper guy. I've got dozens of yellow sticks of all sizes around my workroom, garage, and house.
Earlier today I saw a post about pencil sharpener design. There were tons of great photos of the different colors and shapes, and designs. But not one single picture of what the sharpened tip of the pencil looks like!

I have been on a quest for a great pencil sharpener for years. Here's the catch. As much as I love a great design, the one thing that they never show a photo of is what the pencil looks like after sharpening. As a designer, woodworker, and creative, I don't want too much of an angle as the pencil is cut, or too little.

Nobody every shows what the sharpened tip looks like! Why NOT! this is the most important part,

HELP!

Ha ha! That's so funny!

I just hate it when I sharpen a pencil, and just when it's perfect, I pull it out of the sharpener, and the tip breaks off, so I have to do it all over again.
