Sharpening (Sandpaper) Blocks

Faber-Castell’s Sand Paper Block is a high quality sharpener the blade especially is ideal for optimum sharpening of wood-clad pencils. Due to their robust and hard leads graphite pencils can be sharpened to a very thin point and given their softer leads coloured pencils are sharpened to a shorter and blunter point. For optimum sharpening we recommend replacing the sharpener now and then because the sharpener blade will become blunt over time. This results in more tip breakages.
