The Blackwing Two-Step Long Point Sharpener creates a long, sharp point with a two step process. The first hole sharpens the wood, and the second hole sharpens the graphite core. Each sharpener features a rubberized matte finish for extra grip and German steel sharpening blades. The sharpener can hold three fresh sharpens before needing to be emptied.
To sharpen: Insert the pencil into the hole labeled "1" and turn clockwise until the pencil spins freely. Then, insert the pencil into the hole labeled "2" and turn clockwise until the blade bites the wood, providing a bit of resistance.
