Caran d'Ache - Double Pencil Sharpener

Double Pencil Sharpener

Sharpen standard and jumbo pencils to precise points with dual-blade precision

Precision blade geometry makes the difference between a serviceable point and one that actually performs. This Swiss-made double sharpener houses two steel blades engineered to specific angles, one for standard diameter pencils, the other for oversized barrels up to 10mm. The smaller opening handles everything from graphite to colored pencils, creating clean, centered points without the wobble that plagues cheaper sharpeners. The larger accommodates jumbo pencils and carpenter's pencils that won't fit standard sharpeners.

Caran d'Ache machines the aluminum body to tight tolerances so pencils seat properly during sharpening. This alignment prevents off-center points that break immediately or create inconsistent lines. The blades cut rather than tear wood and core, producing smooth, usable points instead of ragged tips that crumble under pressure. Compact metal construction fits easily in pencil cases and pouches without the bulk of desktop sharpeners. When you need reliable points for detailed drawing or layered color work, this sharpener delivers the consistency that serious pencil work requires.
