Description
PAPIER TIGRE
The Parisian desk sharpener. For everyone who knows a good point doesn’t happen by accident.
The Tiger’s Sharpener by Papier Tigre is a hand-cranked desk pencil sharpener from the 3rd arrondissement of Paris: manual crank, non-slip base, compact plastic body, 4.5 × 8 cm. Compatible with standard pencils at 7 mm diameter. A tool that earns its place on the desk.
The gift for people who work with pencil and paper — and don’t cut corners
Illustrators, architects, designers, stationery lovers — anyone who works regularly with a pencil knows the difference between a good point and a bad one. The Tiger’s Sharpener is a gift for exactly those people: for a birthday, a graduation, Christmas, or simply because someone has a desk that deserves better than throwaway accessories. Papier Tigre was founded in Paris in 2012 and has built a reputation for stationery with personality — functional, colourful, unmistakable. With the Tiger’s Sharpener, you’re not just giving a sharpener: you’re giving a small piece of Parisian stationery culture.
Crank. Shavings. Perfect point.
The hand crank produces a clean, evenly rounded point through consistent, circular motion — without the uncontrolled pressure that causes pencil tips to break in standard push sharpeners. The non-slip base keeps the sharpener stable on the desk while cranking. The shavings container detaches for easy emptying. Compact enough for any desk, drawer, or pencil cup.

Frequently asked questions
Why a hand-cranked sharpener rather than a regular push sharpener?
A hand-cranked sharpener produces a more precise, even point than a standard push sharpener. The consistent circular motion guides the blade at a steady angle, reducing the risk of the tip breaking — especially with softer drawing grades like 2B to 6B. The crank puts the pace in your hands: slow and careful, or quick when you need it. The result is more consistent.
Does it work with coloured pencils and soft charcoal pencils?
The Tiger’s Sharpener is designed for standard round pencils with a 7 mm diameter — which covers most common writing and drawing pencils from HB to 6B, as well as standard-diameter coloured pencils. Very soft charcoal pencils and oval carpenter pencils do not fit the round feed system.
How do I empty the shavings container?
The shavings container detaches from the body and can be emptied over a bin. The mechanism is simple and maintenance-free — no tools needed.
Is it suitable for children?
The Tiger’s Sharpener is an adult tool. The colourful design makes it visually appealing — but it is not a toy and should not be used by children.
