The Høvel pencil plane reimagines the humble pencil sharpener as a precision instrument, carved from solid brass that patinas with use, developing its own unique character over time. Its thoughtful design ensures clean, controlled shavings while protecting your pencil lead from breaking—unlike traditional sharpeners that twist and snap graphite. This isn't just about making a point—it's about making the right point.

Create short, stubby tips for bold sketching, elongated points for fine detail work, or even flat edges for broad strokes and shading. The Høvel handles delicate materials with remarkable gentleness, sharpening soft pastels, charcoal pencils, and makeup pencils without the frustration of broken tips. When your blade dulls, simply swap in a fresh carbon steel replacement—no tools required.

The satisfying heft speaks of enduring quality, transforming the preparation ritual into something quietly ceremonial—a pause before creation begins.
