Høvel
This was a really indulgent purchase for me. I am an amateur artist and teach PE and art at secondary school. I have been using paint and alcohol markers more than pencil crayons for quite a while now but I saw the Høvel a while ago and coveted it!! I’ve been preparing for my classes in September and found myself furiously sharpening my lovely Derwent Artist pencils I had for my 15th birthday (I’m now 47!) and the lead kept breaking and destroying what is left of my 22 year old pencils. I’ll be honest - I was looking for an excuse to buy one and this was it. I ordered my Høvel and in the meantime watched a couple of reviews on YouTube. Most were raving about the product but one American didn’t ‘get it’ and couldn’t use it properly and so I was a little worried that could be me. I really don’t know why I worried. It was simple to attach the blade and very simple to use. Less pressure is the key to success. I just love it. Even though they are stupidly expensive they save you time and frustration and I guess the expense of replacing pencils too soon because they’ve repeatedly broken in rubbish sharpeners. Overall super thrilled with the product. I also bought the walnut stand and that was a wise decision - somewhere to keep your Høvel safe, but also a reservoir to catch the shavings.
