Staedtler Tub Pencil Sharpener
Staedtler’s tub sharpener collects pencil shavings as you sharpen, helping keep the pattern table clear of graphite and wood debris. It has a metal sharpening insert, hinged cover and locking lid.

For standard graphite pencils
Use it with compatible graphite pencils up to 8.2mm in diameter. The container is handy beside pattern paper or in a drawing kit, where loose shavings can otherwise reach the fabric. It is not designed to shape tailor’s chalk slabs or guarantee a suitable point on every soft fabric-marking pencil.
