Derwent Sharpening Stand
Some pencils, particularly Pastels & Charcoal, are difficult to sharpen with a conventional pencil sharpener as they tend to blunt the blade making it difficult to achieve a good point. To make sharpening this type of pencil easier Derwent has introduced a new Sharpening Stand.
Simple and easy to use, it provides a secure base to hold your pencil steady while you achieve the perfect point with a craft knife. It also features a safe cutting guard to prevent any mishaps. A knife, is in fact, the most versatile way of sharpening any pencil as it allows you to create a number of different points, from standard to chisel and needle depending on the type of pencil you are using and your drawing style. And, the new Derwent Sharpening Stand gives you a firm base to work from.
