KUM : The Masterpiece : Metal Pencil Sharpener

The KUM Masterpiece Sharpener is among the best on the market. This extraordinary sharpener is hand-made in Germany and passes through eight quality checks, ensuring each part of the sharpener is functioning as best as it possibly can.The sharpener is made of magnesium which is both lightweight and durable, making for the perfect balance between stability and ease of use. The blades are made of finely ground high-carbon steel with a hardness of more than 62 hrc. This is much harder than most high-quality kitchen knives (typically around 55 hrc). They also feature Dynamic Torsion Action, which handles the difficult dual task of cutting hard graphite while shaping soft wood. They remain rigid when required and flex when needed. The blades are protected against rust by careful polishing, eco-friendly ultrasonic cleaning and by a micro-thin oil coating. Two spare blades are housed in the blue section.
