General's - Flat Point Pencil Sharpener

Flat Point Pencil Sharpener

Sharpen flat sketching and carpenter's pencils to a perfect chisel point

General's solves the flat pencil problem with a sharpener designed specifically for non-round profiles. This specialized tool handles flat sketching pencils, carpenter's pencils, oval profiles, and woodless graphite sticks, shapes that jam or break in standard sharpeners. The mechanism creates a clean chisel point that maximizes the versatility of flat pencil formats, letting you switch between broad strokes and fine lines by rotating the edge.

Chisel points excel at gesture drawing and rapid sketching where you need both coverage and control. Lay the broad edge flat for wide tonal passes, then flip to the corner for crisp details and contour lines. The sharpener maintains this functional geometry without the blade chatter or uneven wear that occurs when forcing flat pencils through round openings.

Each sharpener includes one General's flat sketching pencil so you can start working immediately. The compact housing fits easily in field kits and studio drawers. If you've avoided flat pencils because sharpening them felt like improvisation with a knife, this purpose-built tool eliminates that friction entirely.
