It hurts to sharpen square pins. You plan and the graphite breaks. Then I found this pencil sharpener. This makes sharpening carpenter's pencils much easier. At the end you put a pencil in it, it has a hole shaped like a pencil. The inside of the tool rotates against the blade as long as you hold it outside. He cuts out the sides and then you can take your pocket knife to finish the job. (You still have to use a pocket knife and be careful not to break the graphite, but most of the job is already done.) I have found that this pencil sharpener also sharpens what I believe to be the perfect carpenter's pencil. (It's not what you think) I discovered it the other day. It's called My First Ticonderoga Pencil. It is intended for young children who do not yet know how to hold a thin pencil. Ignore the fact that they have created the best carpenter's pencil. (or take one for yourself and one for your child). The pencil comes with a sharpener (which can also sharpen crayons by the way) and is round so it's easier to sharpen and you don't have to use a pocket knife at all. You can use this high quality Irwin My First pencil sharpener! The downside is that you lose the ability to sharpen crayons. (Tradeoff) The lead in the center is very thick, making it ideal for carpentry work. In fact, the lead (which is graphite, of course) is of a higher quality than any of my carpenter's pencils. It lights up when I make a line. You can see better with polarized glasses. Even on the old wood I reuse I can easily see the lines I make. She has an eraser that will most likely never be used, but I only consider the eraser a safety feature. (Not really, it's just a joke) If you're into crafts, you'll probably get some criticism for using a kid's pencil. I know I'm a little sad about the people I've done carpentry work with, my wife and kid. It's worth it. (Earplugs also help with this). If it really bothers you, you can scrape off the title and branding and paint on something masculine like camouflage. It's a little tedious, but probably still easier than sharpening a traditional carpenter's pencil. I was so happy that I discovered this pencil and I was also glad that this Irwin sharpener works with it! The only downside is that the pins are round. roll. Square pins stay in place. This is the only downside I can think of and it can make a world of difference for those used to square pens. However, I have shaped my square pins and it really works for that. If you don't break the graphite, sharpen and then use a pocket knife to finish the job. I will mainly be using it to sharpen My First Pencils.
