Details

Høvel allows you to sharpen your pencil perfectly to the desired point. Its unique mechanism also helps not to break the lead of your pencil, unlike the common pencil sharpener that breaks the graphite. Thanks to its solid brass body, this pencil sharpener has beauty and character that will stand the test of time.

The Høvel is made of brass and is highly polished from the factory. 

Care instructions : 

The first step is to take the Høvel apart, separating the screw and clamp from the main body. Use some Brasso wadding (or other brass cleaning agent), this can be purchased at most hardware stores, supermarkets, and online. Take a small piece of the webbing and in small circular motions wiping the tarnished areas and sections of graphite. The wadding should start to turn a deep black showing that it is removing the oils and dirt.

Once you have cleaned the brass take a soft cloth or tissue and slightly moisten it with some water and washing up liquid/soap. Then wipe off the residue from the Brasso in a similar motion and care to the Brasso wadding. Then run the parts under some warm water tap and clean off all the cleaning residue. Finally taking another soft cloth/tissue and dry any moisture, I usually use a yellow glass polishing cloth because it will buff up the Høvel to make it very shiny.
