KUM AS2 Long Point Sharpener is a versatile 2 hole sharpener that first removes the wood and then sharpens the point to a very sharp point. Ideal for extra long pencil tips. The AS2 is a single hole (8mm) sharpener that shapes the wood, then the lead. An automatic brake prevents over-shaping/sharpening. Made in Germany with KUM Dynamic Torsion Action which will keep the high-carbon steel blade under positive tension during the sharpening process. Extra-long point pencil sharpener. Dual 8mm holes to sharpen regular size pencils in two steps. One hole is used to shape the wood and the second shapes the lead. A small waste container and two spare blades in flip-top case. Can be used for round, hexagonal, and triangular pencil shapes. Includes flip-top long point sharpener and 2 spare blades. It is recommended that you change the blades with a phillips head screw driver when the shaving no longer breaks off as a continuous piece.
