International Arrivals pencil sharpenerOne small mystery solved. The International Arrivals pencils – fluorescent and carpenter – have no practical way to sharpen them. A lucky break came my way, and I found the right sharpener at a local bookstore – a place with no other International Arrivals products that I could see.
Much larger than just a general large hole sharpener, with slots specifically sized for their two pencils, the product brings some resolution to the problem.
The oversize fluorescent pencils are made usable again – and the carpenter’s pencil is pointed. Of course, this point is like that of a regular pencil, and discards the lead’s rectangular shape. Who wants carpenter pencils pointed this way? I suppose it beats nothing. 5 comments to International Arrivals pencil sharpener |

Hmmmm, yes…sharpening ones carpenters pencil to an ordinary round conical point kind of defeats half the purpose of a carpenters pencil.
Hi Stephen, what about General’s Flat Point Sharpener? Wouldn’t that be practical at least for the International Arrivals carpenter pencil?
Barrel, that sounds right.
I live in Madrid Spain, I often travel to U.S. please I would like information about your pencils, I am very interested with the arpenter pencils colours.
Thank you very much. Best regards, Carmen Castell
You can’t find a carpenter’s pencil sharpener cause real men sharpen them with a knife or any other handy sharp object, or even the rough side of a piece of cinderblock or sandpaper by scratching it back & forth rapidly ;)
