Makers Cabinet Høvel Pencil Plane

A pencil plane rather than a sharpener. Built on the principle of a carpenter's plane, it shaves wood away from the core instead of rotating the pencil against a blade — so the user sets the point they want, from a long taper to a flat chisel edge, and soft cores survive the process.

• Body – solid brass
• Blade – carbon steel
• Dimensions – 9.3 × 5.5 × 2.3 cm
• Unit weight – 0.13 kg
• Supplied with – 10 replacement blades

Trade notes. The most accessible entry to the brand and the fastest-moving line in the range — the one to carry if you are trialling Makers Cabinet with a single SKU. Brass patinates in use, which sells well to a customer who already buys unlacquered brass and leather. Three genuine repeat-purchase attachments behind it: replacement blades, the walnut Base and the Høvel Sheath. Also the natural companion sale to pastel, charcoal and coloured-pencil ranges, where conventional sharpeners break cores.
