{"product_id":"generals-double-hole-metal-sharpener","title":"Double Hole Metal Sharpener","description":"\u003cp\u003eGeneral's machines this dual-hole sharpener from solid metal, giving you the weight and stability that plastic versions lack. The larger opening handles standard drawing pencils and charcoal pencils up to 8mm diameter, while the smaller hole sharpens colored pencils and fine-lead drawing tools. Precision-ground German steel blades create clean, centered points without the splintering or off-center shaves that dull blades produce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe metal construction matters during extended sharpening sessions. Plastic housings flex under pressure, causing blades to misalign and tear wood fibers rather than cutting them cleanly. This sharpener's rigid body maintains blade geometry, delivering consistent results whether you're pointing up fresh pencils or resharpening throughout a drawing session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth chambers collect shavings internally, though you'll want to empty them regularly, packed shavings can jam the mechanism. The compact size fits easily in pencil cases and travel kits. For artists working primarily with graphite, charcoal, and colored pencils, this sharpener provides the reliability and blade quality that preserves your drawing tools rather than destroying them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"General's","offers":[{"title":"carded","offer_id":47982945698021,"sku":"30089","price":3.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.texasart.mom\/products\/generals-double-hole-metal-sharpener","provider":"Texas Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
