Hi, nice site, very interesting. I wondering what is the exact composition of the magnesium-alloy you referred in the article and if it’s true that they reinforced the carbon steel blade with polished magnesium fitting. Hope a response.

Pencils!

One of my favorite blogs has a post about pencils. Since I’ve been sketching everyday and creating some new hand drawn art for a client lately, I thought I’d share some of my current favorite tools.

Purists claim it has to be a knife but in my book this is the best for art pencils and I love the feel of this instrument in my hands. It gets my vote!!

Goibg by the details provided here, I cannot but be surprised by the enrgy people have on the Net. To go further, some time back someone asked me (on net) whether there are sharpeners employing blades. No idea was the reply. thinking later I was of the feeling sharpeners with bent blades have the capability to substantially replace the known ones based on flat blades. Just think over and may be the benefits may be too good especially to those involved with the relevant business.

I have the KUM block sharpener which came with two additional blades from Utrecht for under $3. I compared it to the Boston sharpener reviewed here and the Staedtler dual wedge and the KUM block sharpener was far superior. If you ever come acorss one of these sharpeners, I highly recommend picking one up.

One of these simple wedges came in a package of colored pencils that I bought. I’ve treasured it ever sense. So many of the ones I have with containers break the tip just as I’ve turned the last twist.

I would have never thought that someone would write a review on a pencil sharpener. +1

Oh my. Forgive me for a momentary lapse of common sense. Note to self: next time read the whole ad before posting idiotic comment.

I found two at Pearl Paint. They are excellent sharpeners, better than any electric sharpener that I’ve ever tried.

I was at Pearl again today and found a KUM sharpener that came in a plastic tube that could catch pencil shavings. Great bargain at only $2.00, and it uses the KUM metal wedge sharpener while giving you the convenience of having a place to catch pencil shavings.
