This small cylinder-shaped sharpener is designed especially for sharpening wax crayons and jumbo pencils up to 12 mm (0.47") in diameter. Instead of a sharp tip, it creates a rounded, blunt point that's ideal for wax crayons. The clear container catches the shavings, just pull off the lid to empty. Made in Germany.

IMPORTANT SIZING: Fits crayons up to 12 mm (0.47") in diameter. Crayon sizes vary by brand. Crayons larger than 12 mm (0.47") will not fit.

Please measure your crayons before ordering. Measure straight across the widest part of the crayon. If it measures 12 mm (0.47") or less, this is the correct size. If your crayons are larger than 12 mm, you'll need a larger sharpener.

How it's Made

Precision engineered in Germany by KUM, a manufacturer of pencil sharpeners and drawing tools since 1919. The sharpening mechanism is designed specifically to produce a rounded, blunt point rather than the long, sharp point created by a traditional pencil sharpener.
Why it Matters

A simple tool to refresh the tip of worn-down wax crayons so you can get more use from your art supplies. It sharpens to a rounded, blunt point, perfect for keeping crayons coloring smoothly instead of being tossed aside. It also works great for sharpening jumbo pencils to a rounded tip.
