The Pointi pencil sharpener contains a sophisticated helical-blade cutting system, similar to the system fitted to more costly professional pencil sharpeners. The biggest advantage of a helical cutting system, over the flat blade found in most pocket sharpeners, is the quality of the point. The Pointi really does live up to its name, producing a long, sharp point, time after time. This sharpener is presented in signature Swordfish black and purple livery and will look good on any desk. Inside the polished casing is a sophisticated helical-blade.
