This 400-5L workhorse by Kum may not be the most finely finished sharpener out there, but has become our go-to sharpener when we want a simple, quick, no fuss long point. Easy to use and able to deal with most pencils, this is a great value-for-money sharpener to experience the beauty of the long point in a lightweight magnesium body. Replacement blades are sold in a pack of 3. Founded in 1919, Kum is the oldest producer of sharpeners in the world. They pride themselves on what sets them apart from other manufacturers – carbon-steel instead of inox steel, magnesium instead of aluminium or cast metals, and extremely high quality curved blades. Made in Germany.
