Derwent Inktense pencils are specifically susceptible because their lead formulation is modified for the water-soluble permanent behaviour that defines the product. The Carl Angel-5 is a manual precision sharpener: the pencil is held still and the blade rotates at a controlled rate, allowing the operator to feel the resistance and stop before the lead snaps. The result is a clean point without breakage, even with delicate lead formulations. The adjustable point length setting allows a longer exposed lead (useful for controlled illustration lines) or a shorter one (more durable for rough work).\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carl Angel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53248558039368,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/inkwellartsupplies.com\/products\/carl-angel-5-sharpener","provider":"Inkwell Art Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
