{"product_id":"pencil-sharpener-5-stage-dial-tgaal","title":"Pencil Sharpener - 5-Stage Dial - T'GAAL","description":"\u003cp\u003eA pencil sharpener that offers the ability to sharpen a pencil at different angles with different point lengths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe T'GAAL's dial changes the angle of the blade to create five different point lengths, from very short (1) to very long (5). The mechanism is elegant: turning the dial pivots the sharpener component within the casing, which changes the size of the entry hole and therefore controls how much wood is removed - yielding a shorter or longer point, but with the same sharpness at every setting. It is not a choice between sharp and less sharp, but rather to get the right point geometry for the pencil and its intended use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDial 1–2 gives a sturdier, shorter tip with less breakage - this is ideal for soft leads, coloured pencils, and children's pencils.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDial 3–5 produces a progressively longer point, suited to harder graphite pencils where a fine, sustained tip is the priority.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe integrated shavings chamber contains waste until you choose to empty it, and the CLOSE setting seals the entry hole completely, preventing shavings from escaping in a bag or pen case.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe T'GAAL won the Japan Good Design Award in 2004 in recognition of its unique design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDial settings: 5 (1 = short, 5 = long) + CLOSE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: ABS \/ PS \/ POM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Black (clear body)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with standard graphite and coloured pencils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Made in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e----------------------------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKutsuwa Co., Ltd. is a Japanese stationery maker established in 1910, based in Higashi-Osaka.
