M+R Pollux Sharpener

A modern replacement for the vintage A.W. Faber Janus sharpener, the M+R Pollux is a solid brass sharpener that creates a strong concave point that resists breakage. This works best if you sharpen slowly as you get to the graphite, and use pencils cased in Genuine Incense-cedar.
