What causes the lead of my pencil to break off in the sharpener?
If you want to achieve optimum sharpening results, the blade of your sharpener always needs to be sharp. If the lead breaks off, this is often not down to the pencil, but rather because the sharpener itself is old and has become blunt. As a rough guide to the useful life of a pencil sharpener, it is usually advisable to replace your sharpener after it has sharpened around twelve fully used up pencils.
