LYRA - Graphite Crayon Sharpener

Graphite Crayon Sharpener

Keep 12mm graphite crayons razor-sharp for detailed drawing work

Graphite crayons demand different treatment than standard pencils. This dedicated sharpener accommodates the 12mm diameter that makes graphite crayons so satisfying for broad gestural work and tonal studies. The single-hole design centers the crayon properly during sharpening, while the durable blade maintains its edge through the waxy graphite formulation that dulls inferior sharpeners.

Plastic construction keeps the tool lightweight and easy to clean, important when graphite dust accumulates during extended drawing sessions. A quick rinse under water removes built-up residue that would otherwise transfer to your next sharpening. While designed specifically for Lyra Graphite Crayons, the sharpener handles any 12mm graphite crayon, making it useful if you work across multiple brands.

Keep one at your drawing station and another in your field kit. Sharp crayons mean crisp edges when you need them and consistent coverage when you're blocking in broad tonal areas.
