This was my childhood. Wasted so many graphite leds just by sharpening and breaking them. I am surprised this isn't common knowledge.

Yay for sharing this feature. I use Koh-i-Noor clutch pencils and they all have a built in sharpener when you unscrew the metal end. Bonus tip: you can use the shavings to shade big areas with graphite dust and my fingers or cotton tip stick.
@LeslieStroz Жыл бұрын
Yes! I didn’t have enough time to add that tip, so thanks for adding it. I usually keep a little jar for the dust. 😊

I also used to do that! It's a little bit different since the sharpener on my pencil looked a bit more like a sharpener than just a hole. Though I like the other mechanical pensil more since the lead is easier to find.
