Is it Ok to love a sharpener. As in, I get stirrings deep inside my chest when I crank this handle.
I learnt about the Deli 635 from pencil blog Bleistift, who has an excellent comparison table of sharpener angles.
I purchased my first Deli on account of this table, and then experiencing it in real life, quickly ordered another (international packages) to have one at home and in the office. Nothing compares.
Enough- lets see the evidence.
Long point on a Palomino Blackwing 725- created using the crank sharpener.
Vs alternative single blade sharper also offered – though why anyone would use it when the crank does such a an awesome job. Standard, stubby, short point.
The wood shavings are very fine and captured in a draw for easy disposal. Significant capacity I empty once every 6 months with regular use.
The other thing I like- it’s flattering
No,
No Deli 0635 – why are YOU so gorgeous
It’s simply the best!
..and thanks for the link to my blog.

Thanks. To be honest I used to think it would be nice if more people read more blog, but if I think what strange things the famous stationery bloggers and vloggers get sent I think I prefer to stay small and will not pursue getting more readers anymore. Just to put it in context, if you look at the number of viewers the big blogs get >100x more than Bleistift.
Change of topic, I’m happy I found your blog and will certainly keep visiting.
