Staedtler - Pencil and Crayon Sharpener

Pencil and Crayon Sharpener

Sharpen both standard and jumbo media with dual-size metal blades

Wax buildup clogs standard sharpeners within minutes of crayon use. This dual-barrel design separates graphite and wax sharpening, with the larger 7/16" opening handling chunky crayons while the standard 5/16" barrel keeps your drawing pencils sharp. All-metal cutting mechanisms create precise conical points rather than the rounded tips that cheaper plastic blades produce, maintaining edge geometry through hundreds of sharpenings.

The removable shavings container prevents desktop debris and empties cleanly when full. Staedtler machines these sharpeners from solid metal blocks rather than crimping thin sheet metal, so the blades stay aligned under pressure from soft wax or hard graphite. Keep one at your drawing table and another in your supply kit; separate barrels mean you won't contaminate graphite work with waxy residue or dull crayon points with graphite dust. Colors vary, but the machining quality stays consistent across every unit.
