Say Hello to the New Sharpeners

Today, we’re feeling sharp. In case you missed it, we just introduced one brand-new sharpener, and some pretty exciting updates to our classic two-step sharpener. Here’s a breakdown of what’s new and what’s different.

The One-Step Long Point Sharpener

This is the first new sharpener we’ve introduced in the 10 years since the Blackwing’s revival.

Our new One-Step Long Point Sharpener creates a long, curved point that looks beautiful and resists breakage. Its compact design is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand or as a permanent part of your every day carry.

The body is made of machined aluminum and the sharpening unit features a German steel blade. The canister should hold three fresh sharpens before needing to be emptied.

I am so stoked to finally be able to talk about this sharpener. We’ve been working on it for close to three years now, and I’m really proud of how it turned out. You can check it out here.

The (updated) Two-Step Long Point Sharpener

This is the same sharpener you know and love, retooled to save space.

It features the same two-step long point sharpening system as our old sharpener inside of a body that is about 33% smaller. Even though the sharpener feels much smaller in your hand, it holds about the same amount of shavings as its larger predecessor thanks to some optimized geometry.

The sharpener features a matte rubberized finish for some added grip, and the same German steel blades you’ve come to expect. It’s also available in three colors to match your pencil of choice. Check it out here.

You can grab both sharpeners right now. Which sharpener are you more excited about? Let us know on Instagram @Blackwing.
