How to Waste $70 on a Pencil Sharpener 

up next, a $150 eraser that doesn't really erase anything, it just melts onto your page, makes a gooey mess and slaps you on the knee

It's nothing an artist would buy, more like something a loving relative of an artist would buy as a gift

You’re the most British looking american person I’ve ever seen

Bruh a pencil sharpener that has a Tutorial

This sharpener better make my pencils point toward the answers

Put it in the refrigerator. The guy who lives in there can slice prosciutto on it

Ah... judging from the packaging, It’s looks like the 70$ price tab was shipping and handling from 1923.

This is essentially a small wood plane with the following defects: Non-adjustable blade depth Incorrectly placed grips Highly disturbing price.

Yeah I'm just gonna keep using my Spongebob pencil sharper that I got when I was in elementary school

I I buy a pencil sharpener for 70 bucks that better sharpen my pencil, water my crops, clean my dishes, and steal the teeth of whoever I want it to

When quarantine gets really bad that you watch a man shave pencils

Alternative title: how to waste a pencil on a $70 sharpener

Its like getting to the end of a video game and buying all the random upgrades you didn't need

The “pencil sharpener” is basically just a fancy blade holder.

Despite the fact the manufacturers say it’s a pencil sharpener, it’s not. It’s a plane used for flattening a board face.

The word Høvel is basically related to the word "grater" like a cheesegrater. And the shape and form makes it look like one. (it's just my thought though because I'm from Norway)

Peter doesn't always use a pencil, but when he does he uses a $70 pencil sharpener to remind him of why he prefers pens.

seeing as its adjustable and it always stays at that length, unlike a hand with an exacto knife, i can see how this is somewhat useful, but definitely not at $61.

The way he was having such a time wrapping those blades up you know he’s never rolled up the chronic

I'm rather happy I didn't see your review as I have just bought one of these, indeed, why you might ask. I am a pastel artist and have spent so much money on sharpeners for pastel pencils over the years, cheap ones that are almost disposable to expensive swordfish ones which are great for a few weeks, I have four expensive ones I am just done with! I have never mastered a knife (plus the mess) for pastel pencils ending up breaking the pastel or very uneven points and so time consuming trying to get that point in a soft medium . Would I have bought this for ordinary pencils, no way but for pastels this is just amazing. Perfect points and not constantly breaking the point in the sharpener ending up with a pencil stump very quickly, wasting more money as pastel pencils are substantially more expensive than a graphite pencil. Having this by my side as I work with several colours at once has been a godsend, no mess no waste no clogging sharpeners and convenient. I will never waste another pastel pencil or buy another sharpener again so actually it is saving me money. Yes seems pricey for such a small thing but I have spent way more than that over the years.

I feel like designing and 3D printing a version of this thing out of spite.

I understand. The brass suckered you in. It could have happened to me, I love that material. But I, like you sharpen my pecils with a sharp thin knife, and then point them with sandpaper. No fancy pencil sharpener beats that level of control, whatever they promise. Still, it looks lovely that device....

I came for the pencil sharpener review 😯but stayed for the beautiful drawing🥰. Definitely love your art.

As someone with shaky hands, watching someone handle tiny blades is a rollercoaster.

if there's one thing the internet has taught me, its how to waste money

“HØVEL: Solving problems that didn’t exist since figuring out how to swindle people out of their money.”

I feel kinda sad for that poor pencil being tortured like that :c

H"u"vel pencil sharpener is definitely not what John Wick used.

Everytime the lead breaks I die a bit inside. Im still watching so I'll keep you updated Edit: I'm now fully dead

Your voice is so calming It felt weird when you were like “isn’t that a torture device” it caught me a bit lol

I love Peter so much, he reminds me of Bob Ross in the way he speaks so softly, kindly, and affirming. He’s so encouraging, and it’s just- it makes me feel cared for.

I love how it's too fancy to be called a pencil sharpener... no... it's gotta be the *P E N C I L P L A N E*

Bold and brass? More like, belongs in the trash!

Peter - Never buy expensive stuff from London based companies. Probably should've consulted an English person first because we have to learn this from young lol

I haven't watched the entire video, so I don't know if this is mentioned, but I believe this is for those flat pencils used in woodworking and such, which are usually sharpened with a knife or a chisel or something, because, well, they are flat. Also, woodworking types enjoy hefty, overengineered tools, like, hand it down to your grandkids kinda things.

Me: watching the sharpener* Him: stares at my soul while explaining how it works*

List of items that can sharpen a pencil as well as, if not better, then this fancey blade holder: -The year six pencil sharpern you stole from school. -A kitchen knife. -The plastic pretty princess sharpener from pound land. -A crafts knife. -Probably just your teeth. Don't underestimate them I tried it.

"The paper itself is a natural pencil sharpener" - _Peter Deligdisch_

This is actually the second video I've watched featuring an artist demonstrating , or in this case attempting to demonstrate, how to sharpen a pencil. I have many pencil sharpeners but my favorite is a razor blade.

People laughing at this while watching on a Apple product.

You said you hadn't opened it, but how do you explain the new haircut?

Honestly. I appreciate it. The sharpener has a lot of uses when you think about. Sometimes you might need a rock for a window and you only have this sharpener.

I just received one as a gift and I love it! Yeah, it's not as efficient as the plastic one's yet, but the experience is wonderful. It makes me slow down, and be more mindful (a plug for my therapist). Plus, I love the wood and the brass. it's a unique experience like creating art, that most won't appreciate, but that is okay.

Im'a stick with my mechanical pencils and fineliners. Would love a good brush pen recommendation, mind 🖋️

19 minutes of Peter being passive-aggressive with a pencil sharpener

The blades probably weren't sharp enough. Regardless it's just a glorified, more unwieldy hybrid of a pencil sharpener and a razor.

Having polished my fair share of brass, I can't imagine "solid brass" being a selling point for something like this meant for actual handheld use. Looks great when freshly shined, but that infernal stuff tarnishes quick as a blink.

I watch your videos to fall asleep. Something about an artist quietly describing a pencil sharpener is just soothing

why did someone think it was a good idea to make a planer to try shapeing a cone

I know that you're all dying to learn how the Scandinavian letter Ø/Ö is pronounced. Your lucky day has come. It's not, like Peter does, which reminds me of the German letter Ü. Instead pronounce it like the letter "I" in English words like "bird" and "skirt", and you'll be very close to the original Ø™ sound. You're welcome =) Bonus content: Æ is pronounced like the letter "A" in the English words "dad" and "stand". Å is pronounced like the letters "AW" in "law" and "awesome". Now you can read and pronounce Danish/Swedish/Norwegian, go you.

You are so sarcastic and genuinely nice at the same time. I love it

You pay attention to all of the correct things in the most unconventional way and I really appreciate that.

“Who likes RU-vid videos?” The disgust with which you said that made me giggle pretty hard.

Peter my favorite part of your videos is watching you get confused by the equipment you're reviewing.

I just received mine yesterday and love it!! I will say it took a couple of adjustments, I also have the base and used that as I found holding it felt clumsy for me. The pencil slides beautifully and I got a fine point. I will admit I’m a gadget person. I also love the process! I would however when creating art use another sharpener, to speed things up a bit. Im not sorry I bought it, it’s adorable! Thank you for your review

My favorite part of this video was you unwrapping and re-wrapping the blades. I loved how it looked and sounded. Very ASMR.

Peter buys really expensive things that he knows are not worth it “just to look at it himself and say no no...this sucks”

This pencil sharpener itself is almost a piece of art. It is beatiful, takes time to fully understand how to use it and master it, and once you do master it feels so good.

2020 is wild, I just watched 19 mins of this man reviewing a 60 dollar pencil sharpener. I haven't used a pencil since high school so this is definitely pertinent information for me.

I have a very hard time sleeping and I've tried to watch this video 3 times already and I keep falling asleep cause you're so relaxing, but I promise you I'm finishing this video now

Hey Peter! I have a pencil sharpener recommendation for you. I still use my grandfather's pencil sharpener from (I think) when he went to school in Germany. It's all brass, and is labeled "DUX" with "Germany" written below it. It comes with a little leather pouch (for mine, it's red). It's obviously an antique at this point but I Googled the product and it appears they still make them exactly the same, as far as I can tell. It also has three sharpness settings to choose from on a little dial on the end. It's a terrific pencil sharpener and I think you'd like it!

This thing is actually awesome, my mum is a professional artist and only sharpens her pastels with knives, she’s always cutting her fingers and complaining that the arthritis in her hands makes it difficult to sharpen, I bought her this and she’s extremely happy with it, definitely a tool for enthusiasts or professionals though

A little over 20 years ago, (probably before you were born) a friend of my husband was fidgeting with a tiny little brass plane and I asked him if I could look at it. I was so intrigued by it that he told me to keep it. I wonder now if it was one of the first novelty pencil sharpeners. I've moved several times since then so I don't know if I still have it, but if I find it, I'm going to try sharpening a pencil with it. My dad used those flat pencils when he was working. He sharpened it with a little pocket knife that he always kept in his pocket. I wish I had that little pocket knife , but my mom didn't offer us kids any keepsakes after he passed away.

I've had one for over a year now... no problems... and it also doubles up in the workshop fr very fine planing of edges and external corners.....

As a dane I find it quite amusing when normal scandinavian words are used in capital letters to sell an overpriced 'high end' product.

"Am I an idiot?" Story of my life, Peter.

The only way I'd buy that is if the sharpener came with a $50 bill in the box.

Thanks Peter. I was already a artist by pencil and you got be back into fountain pens. I bought a Twisbi 580 ALR Prussian Blue with a nib set. Medium is pretty fascinating and pretty wet can’t wait for a the shimmer inks to arrive hehe 😉 oh if I had 20 shimmering pens I’d probably cry so much looking at it by time I’m finished it’s only sparkles ✨

Planes aren't used for shaping, they're used for making boards straight and smooth. What you need is a tiny spokeshave.

" maybe it just takes practice" * whittles away at pencil vigorously*

An old school pen knife in your pocket is what I usually go with. And I like the feel of it. Plenty of control in that too

“Abbreviated” 19:10 minutes long

I love this guy's face, when he talks the expressions are very tasty.

I saw Adam Savage review their compass and this sharpener. The compass looks really cool as an art piece, and fairly functional as well. This sharpener just seems like a gimmick. I’m glad you gave your actual opinion on this thing!

Correction: how to waste 17 minutes on a pencil sharpener

I’m disabled and have motor tics that make me twitch and flail involuntarily. I love this sharpener because it’s weighty enough to hold down on my table and the risk of hurting myself on the blade is significantly reduced (unlike sharpening with a knife). It’s also very easy on the wrists. Sometimes things that seem redundant to others are fantastic for disabled people.

The sharpener breaking the nice new lead all to hell was really distressing to watch ha ha

2:15 so great of them to throw in some free scratch marks with their $70 pencil sharpener

I've said this before and I'll say it again: Peter, you do nice work w pencil. Would love to see more!!

RU-vid algorithm has brought me back to this unique person

"isn't a thumb screw a torture devise?" I learn something new during every video of yours.

I used graphite (you know, "pencil") about 90% of the time growing up. I thought this drawing came out really well. The inherent variation in value and texture adds to this drawing, and I thought the black areas came out well. At least from the filming angle, I couldn't see any shininess. I was just talking to my 14-year old daughter earlier tonight about painting, over which she prefers markers. I must have had a quantum connection to your thoughts on this video, because I gave her very similar advice about trying painting media enough to really understand them before making a final judgment. She's open to it...she's a very smart young lady, you know? Though I love your ink work, I hope to see more pencil drawings (and more color). BTW I'm enjoying my freshly-delivered copy of Dayfever. See you next time on the same Bat-channel!

I came across the Hovel today as one of my art distributors is packaging this item in a gift set. I was baffled as to expense of this item. Thanks for the heads up. The Hovel is the MontBlanc of pencil sharpeners!!

I can't believe that you paid for this! Also, I love that you watched instructional videos on how to operate a pencil sharpener.

I think your blade was sticking a bit too far out so it was a bit aggressive. Either way it's definitely a novelty item.

This looks like something that would be really satisfying to hold and play around with, but considering there's a blade just sticking out of it I'm not sure it's good even for that

I also bought the compass and I also have a gold zippo😫😂You’re Awesome Peter !!!

I could see this being a unique sharpener for the construction type pencils

Adam Savage picked up one of those circle drawing tools you have on order, and received one of the pencil sharpeners along with it, and he loved it. It looks like he may have set the blade to rest flush with the sharpener, and he has appears to have a lot more success with it than you did.

Look at this peasant🤣 doesn’t even have diamonds imbedded inside his pencil sharpener.

I really enjoy the drawing you did at the end.

Good positivity, kept me watching the video... Damn good artist!

When he called himself Peter i realised it wasn't sam smith...

The most expensive sharpener I ever bought was a standard sharpener that just happened to be brass.... It looked just as beautiful, felt great to hold, and to this day does a great job of sharpening pencils. It cost $12, and I still love it like ten years later. A brass sharpener is gonna last a lifetime, it might as well be functional.

His voice is amazingly soothing

That drawing reminds me of the cover of the album "The Mollusk" by Ween. I love it!!!

Noone: Someone Sharpening pencil: There's got to be a better way!

Being into weirdo stationary is at least almost cheaper than some recreational drugs.

No one: RU-vid: Wanna see a 19 minute video of a guy sharpening a pencil?

Yeah just crazy lol liked your review ha lol. I really loved your drawing! This is the first video ive watched and your drawing is amazing. Also, I know theres obviously a huge adult coloring thing and definitely think thise people would really appreciate your drawings. Have a great night.
