Art Post: 2 Millimeter Lead Sharpener
Hello.
For a lead holder, you need a special sharpener for the lead. My old one is now part of my outdoor art supplies, so I needed to find one for my indoor art supplies. I got tired of sharpening it on paper haha.
I searched the local art store and online art stores. My preference was that it had a shavings catcher, to make my life easier. After some trials, this was the best one for me:
JetPens.com - Uni 2 mm Pencil Lead Sharpener
A truly one-of-a-kind lead sharpener from Uni! This quality contraption opens on one end to a small hole just big enough to hold a 2.0 mm pencil lead. Just gently rotate the sharpener around the axis in which the lead lies to sharpen the lead. Open the other end of the sharpener to dispose the debris.
This Uni sharpener sharpens great and the trap is very neat. Very clean operation. It comes in a little plastic box, but without an airtight seal. It has been great to use, would recommend this out of all the ones I have used up to now.
Hope you found this useful!
Please have a good end to your week.
