rainbow colors on a sebenza blade

[zyhano]

ha, and you all thought it was a new kind of damascus right?

Nah, it's just what you get after sharpening 40+ pencils your kids use for giving colors to walls/life/drawings

just some holiday pictures for your enjoyment!

oh, and did I mention that the sebenza is an excellent pencil sharpener

 

[never too sharp]

You know what else is a good pencil sharpener? A pencil sharpener.

Admit it, you just wanted to see what the blade looked like with all those colors on there. Looks pretty cool. I hope you put all those pencils back in thier places.

Lol, great post, this is the reality we live in.

I had recently just finished bringing my sebe up to 'hair splitting' sharpness when my son walked in and asked me to sharpen his pencil. So much for slaying a dragon.

Only if the university I attend would let me use my sebbie to sharpen pencils in class

And I was thinking it was a Sebenza targeted for the gay community.

(Not that there's anything wrong with that!)

I always prefer knives/cutters for sharpening pencils. Total control over lead length, fewer broken leads. I design, sketch with pencils.

and as a bonus, it gives you some practice to do fine cuts and whittling
Even though it seems simple to make a good, straigh, even point with only a few directed cuts, there is some skill needed for some good old pencil whittling.
Of course, this depends on how good you want the point to be
