From a small pocket sharpener to electrical machines that can sharpen 15 pencils in a minute, Swordfish are the experts. Our sharpeners have been designed to meet individual needs.

Sharpeners that have their blades retained by tamper-proof screws are ideal for school kids, whilst electrical sharpeners that can handle a variety of different pencil diameters are a boon to busy teachers. We even have a fully automatic, hands-free sharpener that takes the hard work out of sharpening lots of pencils.

Artists who use specialist pencils are pleased to see that we test all our mechanical and electrical sharpeners on a range of these pencils – and publish the results, taking the guesswork out of choosing the right machine.

Swordfish’s Ikon Mechanical Sharpener is the ideal sharpening tool.

The Ikon Sharpener is designed to sharpen standard 8mm diameter pencils and gives excellent results with graphite, crayon, watercolour and pastel pencils.

For a mess free sharpening experience, all pencil shavings go directly into a high capacity shavings tray which holds 20 pencils worth of shavings before it requires emptying.

The sharpener features a helical blade cutting system, which performs to a higher standard than most standard flat blades. The blade has a series of sharp ridges which revolve as you sharpen, producing a sharp long point every time. The replaceable blade means you no longer need to replace your sharpener!

The compact sharpener comes complete with a handy desk clamp, so there is no need to hold it steady – it can be operated with one hand, making for an ever easier sharpening experience.

The combination of its’ small size and high capacity makes Ikon ideal for the home, school and office.

Ikon’s replaceable high quality helical blade is ideal for precision sharpening with minimal effort – producing clean, sharp, consistent point, every time.

To avoid oversharpening, the Mechanical Sharpener features an auto stop function, which stops sharpening when your pencil is ready.

Swordfish’s Ikon Mechanical Sharpener includes a desk clamp, securing the sharpener and allowing you to operate it with just one hand.

The Ikon Mechanical Pencil Sharpener features a high capacity shavings tray, collecting pencil shavings for a mess-free sharpening experience.
