Dual Pencil Sharpener

Geretsried, Germany
Duroplast
2 x 2.5"

In the past, I was deceived in thinking that smaller was better for a travel sharpener. I’ve since found it awfully difficult to be discreet about sharpening my colored pencils at bars and coffee shops, trains and planes, where I had no business sketching the fellow next to me in the first place. Though this Dux sharpener is a bit bulky, I now count it as one of my sly materials. It was designed in the 1950’s with two openings—one for standard pencils and one for fatties—and plenty of receptacle space for your pencil shavings. It looks equally fine upon your desktop as in your spy kit.
