Here's a March 1942 Popular Mechanics hack, how to customize a sharpener to do step 1 of our modern long-point sharpener--cut the wood only, leaving the lead unsharpened. Then you could sharpen the lead however you like. The article talks about putting a chisel point on it with sandpaper, for example. LINK

I wish they’d make the same two-holed design in metal, as a non-receptacle wedge. That might be the greatest sharpener ever, especially in brass. I currently favor the one-hole brass wedge, even though the points are shorter. It’s just a pleasure to use and to carry around.

My hinge gradually got loose and eventually broke off a while back after a couple of blade changes, so I took it out of my portable sketching kit and just kept it for studio use. It is probably the weakest point in its design.

Here’s a question: Is anyone having an issue with the hinge on the lid giving way? My red (non-Palomino) version seems like it’s about to take a dive.

pencil sharpner porn, love it! ummm, ahem, yes where was I? i know this is an old post, hope this gets updated. i love a good sharpner, too many cheap ones out there that just don’t do the job, and i have no patience for them.

one idea for alternative use for sharpeners. i keep one in my emergency kit in my pocket/ backpack when hiking or camping. you can use them to assist making an emergency fire by sharpening a pencil or twig to make enough shavings to help start an emergency campfire if lost/forced overnight stay, etc…
