A classic DUX product since 1936, these double hole sharpeners are sure to bring back some nostalgic memories.
Made from Duroplast (a close relative of Bakelite and Formica) they have the vintage material to go with the vintage aesthetic. Mounted inside the lid is a double hole sharpener, suitable for all pencils up to 12mm wide.
Replacement blades available.
Duroplast is a fibre-reinforced plastic, most famously used for the bodywork of the Trabant - the people’s car of the German Democratic Republic. While this sharpener does not have space for four adults and luggage, it does have a compact and durable shell, and the strong double-hole sharpener inside could be described as its two-stroke engine. And the thin wooden emissions from a pencil sharpener are a lot better for the environment!
Additional Information
DUX have been making pencil sharpeners in Germany for a long time - some of their designs go back to the 1930s. The times may have changed, but pencils still need sharpening, and good old-fashioned engineering is just as satisfying today as it was then.
They use traditional materials like aluminium, brass and bakelite, as well as more modern plastics, to make simple block sharpeners, tub sharpeners, sharpeners with tape dispensers and lead pointers for clutch pencils.
Orders placed before 3pm Monday to Friday will normally be sent out the same or next day.
