Some things in life take too long: waiting for the kettle to boil, getting a table at your favourite restaurant… Thankfully, Kutsuwa are working hard to make everyday tasks such as pencil sharpening that much faster.
Normally, when sharpening a pencil with a single blade sharpener, it takes a monumental amount of rotations to get a sharp point on the pencil - 12 in our testing. Obviously, this is a drain on everyone's time - time that would be better spent drinking coffee or ordering more pencils from your favourite online retailer…
This brings us to the innovation in Kutsuwa's latest pencil sharpener - it features not one, but two sharpener blades. These blades work in tandem, each sharpening the pencil at the same time. The end result is that the Kutsuwa Twin-Blade sharpener can put a sharp point on a pencil with half as many rotations as a boring old single-blade sharpener.
If that's not enough of a time saving for you, then you are either the world's busiest person (in which case a mechanical pencil is probably more your style - try a Kuru Toga, that's always sharp), or, you have too much time on your hands to worry about how long it takes to sharpen a pencil.
Canister-style sharpener holds all pencil shavings whilst a sliding door covers the pencil slot when not in use to keep all shavings secure and prevent any spillages.
Additional Information
While their roots go back to 1910, the Kutsuwa company we know today began life in 1958, and have made some wonderfully innovative products ever since. Many of their products have the kind of quirky and unusual design that’s so unique to Japan, while solving problems you probably never knew you had!
