The Kum AS2 Automatic Long Point is a unique two-step sharpener that separates the wood-shaving process from the lead-pointing process. This ensures a consistent, needle-sharp tip every time while minimising lead breakage.
Achieve a professional-grade taper that standard sharpeners simply cannot replicate. The Kum AS2 features two distinct holes: the first shaves the wood casing, and the second shapes the graphite lead. This "automatic" stop mechanism ensures you never over-sharpen or waste your favourite pencils.
Honest Note:
Who is it For?
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUSTIONS (FAQ)
What makes the Kum AS2 "Automatic"?
The "Automatic" designation refers to the built-in stop. Once the wood or lead reaches the perfect length in its respective hole, the sharpener stops cutting, preventing unnecessary pencil waste.
Can I use this for coloured pencils?
It is primarily designed for graphite. Because coloured pencil cores are softer and more fragile, the extremely long point created by the AS2 may be prone to snapping unless used with professional-grade, hard-core coloured leads.
How do I replace the blades?
Simply unscrew the safety screw on the blade housing and swap in the provided spare blades. Using fresh blades is essential for maintaining the "Automatic" stop functionality.
