More on versatility
The engineering
Under constant tension, the blade adjusts dynamically to the forces bearing on the pencil — preventing the lead from snapping, on wooden and plastic barrels alike.
Only on KUM®
A primary blade sharpens to a fine point; a second blade delicately shapes the round point — an original KUM® invention for the series 6000.
Hygiene, built in
An integrated cleaning stick removes waxy residue and protects the blade — always at hand, no other tool needed to keep it razor-sharp.

Private Label
For over 100 years, we have been manufacturing high-quality sharpeners, and for several decades, we have specialized in the high precision required for cosmetic sharpeners. Our renowned 6000 series is celebrated not only for featuring one of the hardest blades in the world but also for delivering the highest quality sharpening performance available. Thanks to our unique DBS® system (Double-Blade-System®), our sharpeners produce a perfectly rounded point on pencils of any texture, ensuring clean and consistent results for both soft and hard formulas.
We offer specialized solutions for both traditional wooden barrels and modern plastic pencils, ensuring that regardless of the casing material, your product is always handled with care. To ensure a perfect fit for your specific portfolio, we provide models for a wide range of outer diameters — including 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, and 16mm — while our versatile adapters seamlessly cover any intermediate sizes.
Beyond technical performance, we offer full customization to align with your brand identity; every sharpener can be tailored to your specific needs regarding material, color, printing, and decoration. Whether you require models with or without removable containers, or those equipped with integrated cleaning sticks for easy maintenance, our sharpeners are designed to be the perfect, customizable companion to your cosmetic products.
