Kutsuwa T’Gaal Adjustable Pencil Sharpener – Five-Stage, Precision Japanese Design
Description
Who knew sharpening a pencil could be a minor act of engineering brilliance? The Kutsuwa T’Gaal is no ordinary sharpener — it’s a clever little contraption from Japan that lets you choose exactly how long you’d like your pencil point to be. Five adjustable settings mean you’re always in control, whether you want a sturdy stub for your soft colour leads or a fine lance for detailed graphite work. Unlike its cousin the K’Zool (which simply halts the pencil), the T’Gaal adjusts the angle itself, so you always get a properly sharp, conical point — just longer or shorter as you please.
It even won the Japan Good Design Award back in 2004, and we rather think it’s still the height of sharpening sophistication.
What Makes It Work So Well:
-
Five Settings, Always Precise: Adjust the dial to create points of different lengths, perfect for switching between delicate lines and robust shading.
-
Neat and Tidy: An integrated compartment catches all those shavings, keeping your desk as pristine as your sketches.
-
Sharp Points, Less Breakage: Ideal for prolonging your soft-core coloured pencils — no more frequent snaps to spoil your artistic flow.
