kalanamak Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Every sharpener I've tried (manual) makes the points much longer and more breakable. I want the point closer to a 60 degree angle, not a <45 degree angle. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyJoy Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I did some looking on the Internet, and found this adjustable-tip sharpener by T'gaal. It seems to be universally well-liked. http://www.wetpaintart.com/closeup.asp?cid=375&offset=0&pid=60943 There is a review of it and pictures of the tips it makes at http://www.pencilrevolution.com/2005/12/review-of-t%E2%80%99gaal-sharpener/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzanne in ABQ Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 X-Acto sharpeners make the shorter point. I hate that kind of point, so I exchaged two X-Acto sharpeners before I gave up. I've seen X-Acto sharpeners at Staples and Office Max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalanamak Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) It isn't quite as stubby as I thought I wanted, but it works well enough that little guy isn't snapping the points off. And, for 53 cents, I got one for each desk. It works well with sketch pencils (art). http://www.dickblick.com/products/generals-all-art-pencil-sharpener/ The keys here is the words "restores to a factory point".
