Perhaps the most famous sharpener from a company that specializes in sharpeners — this is the KUM Automatic Long Point, regarded by many pencil enthusiasts as the best all-around hand sharpener for the money. The Automatic Long Point works in two steps. First, use Hole 1 to remove the wood from the pencil at its tip. After this step, you'll see just the core of the pencil. Then, use Hole 2 to quickly shape the cylindrical core into a very long point. By removing wood first, the KUM Automatic can reach more of the core than other devices. This is the deluxe model, featuring two extra sharpeners built in: a 2.0 mm lead pointer on one side and a 3.2 mm lead pointer on the other side. These are simple one-step sharpeners that also make very long points. Made in Germany — metal KUM sharpener blades installed inside.
