Sharptank Blog Getting to Know Your SharpTank - Pencil Sharpening Instructions

The SharpTank is a crank-style pencil sharpener that produces a perfectly-sharpened pencil. Why is it superior to the traditional classroom sharpener? For starters, it works! As you insert a pencil into the sharpener it "grasps" the pencil and securely holds it in position while you sharpen. Instead of "eating" your pencil, the SharpTank stops sharpening once a perfect point is achieved. (You willl feel the resistance, and the cutting will stop when the pencil is fully sharpened). The result is an amazing point and the satisfaction of holding a perfectly-sharpened pencil.Pencil Sharpening Instructions:1. Pull out the silver face plate.2.
