This Faber Castell 9000 sharpener has two sharpening holes and is
suitable for coloured pencils and graphite pencils. It has a
compartment which will catch the shavings from wood-clad pencils.
When not in use, the sharpening apparatus will slide down into a
plastic case so that graphite dust cannot fall out of the
sharpening holes.Because the leads of graphite pencils are hard and
resistant to breakages, they can take a very fine point. For
pencils such as these, the Castell 9000 has a fine point sharpener,
which will sharpen pencils to a 21 degree point. For coloured
pencils, which have softer leads, this product also has a shorter
point sharpener. This will sharpen pencils to a 24 degree
point.This product should be replaced from time to time, as use
will mean that the blade will blunten over time. To find out more
