Thread: Dear dedicated honers...

I enjoin you to ponder the deeper lessons learned by this master sharpener, as he slavishly toils day in day out on the intricacies of his craft:

How to Sharpen Pencils | The Etsy Blog

(And no, it's technically not a joke: Artisanal Pencil Sharpening)

I truly hope that, Today, someone kicks me in the ass; I deserve it after spending 5 minutes on that link you provided.

thats kind of rediculous! lol

Now there's a void in my life I'll never get back.

That guy truly puts the "anal" in artisanal. Of course, we here at SRP are nothing like that.

Yes, it's nothing like razor sharpening. Not at all.

Seems pointless, when useing a thing like a pencil for its intended purpose, it dulls rather quickly for there to be so much time devoted to sharpening it... I will never understand 'artists'

Wait, he doesn't use a pocket knife and still calls it 'Artisanal'?

I am going to write a book on proper pencil sharpening, as soon as I settle on an adjective that trumps his. Suggestions please? The winner will get a free autographed copy of the book, along with the '%$@%@$#' sharpened pencil I will use for the autograph!

It's funny. The translucent Arkie that I bought around two months ago was part of an old drafting kit. It was used for keeping pencils sharp, as the only crud on it was graphite.
