So I have my new Nani 12k and I was about to draw a grid on it so I could lap it for the first time. Turns out I could not find a working pencil, nor can I find my pencil sharpener. (Grandson #1 is the primary suspect. I may well find my sharpener in a couch cushion, or behind the china cabinet.)
So I have a factory sharpened pencil. They may have claimed that it was 'draw ready', but we all know how the factory edge is in reality v. their claims. (The attached photo will clearly demonstrate the lack of a 'draw ready' edge)
So my question is:
What would you pencil honemeisters recommend to bring this pencil up to a true 'draw ready' status?
Here are the tools I have at hand:
Buck 110FG
Leatherman-Wingman
Gerber Venison Master
Gerber Bone Knife
Buck Chairman Series
Or, and I know this is blasphemous:
should I use the plastic cartridge pencil?
I'm really at a loss here. Sending the pencil out for professional honing is not an option. SWMBO insists that I must shave if I want to enjoy her company... Surely you gents can understand the urgency of my circumstances.
Any and all advise is greatly appreciated. (except paper test recommendations)
