Well that depends really on whatuth the pencil is usedeth for. If said pencil is going to be used for fine lines and intricate work then a shaloweth angle is best however it must be noted that a shallow sharpened angle requires more maintenance and is prowen to chipeths.Originally Posted by criswilson10

If the pencil however is going to be usedeth for less delicate or intricate work a steeper angle is recomendedeth to provide longevity to the pointeth and requires less maintance

I liked when he pointed out that you can sharpen a pencil with out a pencil sharpener, but you can't sharpen one without a pencil. Profound stuff that.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

You can lead a horse to water, but a pencil must be lead.
You can have everything, and still not have enough.
I'd give it all up, for just a little more.

I can't believe he doesn't tape his pencils...
It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

Dang! I have been doing it all wrong!
Yes, that IS a Lipshaw strop he used to sharpen his knife!
