Pencil Sharpener Metal (Product Code: SLE/S/07) is a metal-bodied pencil sharpener used to put a clean, even point on writing and colouring pencils in classrooms and school laboratories. It suits schools that need a hard-wearing sharpener for shared or individual desks, because its steel blade is held by a screw and the body is built to withstand repeated use.

A blunt pencil gives thick, uneven lines on diagrams, graphs and labelled drawings, so a sharpener belongs on every desk in art, mathematics and science lessons. Insert the pencil into the opening and turn it steadily in one direction with light pressure, stopping once the point forms; rocking or forcing the pencil is what usually snaps the lead. The same opening takes both graphite writing pencils and colouring pencils.
Because the steel blade is fixed with a screw, check now and then that it has not worked loose, and keep the sharpener dry to protect the cutting edge. Empty shavings into a bin rather than onto benches, especially in a laboratory where loose debris can contaminate practical work. Teachers of younger classes often keep a set of sharpeners in a shared class box so they are always to hand.
