Makers Cabinet : Brass Hovel : Pencil Plane

Høvel is a pencil sharpener that functions as a miniature plane, allowing you the freedom to achieve any point you like without breaking the lead of your pencils like a typical sharpener. It can be used as a long point sharpener, a flat sharpener - like what you would achieve with a chisel or knife - or even for making very short and sturdy points.

The blades are easily changed without the need for any tools. It uses a simple but sturdy thumb screw that fastens everything together. The solid brass Høvel weighs in at around 90 grams with a great weighted feel in the hand. Being a precision machined brass item, Høvel will age beautifully and is made to last a lifetime. This Høvel comes with 10 replacement blades in the box.

Høvel's optional wooden base is perfect for your desk and collects the shavings as you sharpen. If you are traveling you can bring your Høvel along in the leather sheath, handmade in England.
