Left-handed highlights

The sharpening blade is reversed so the pencil turns counterclockwise—the natural motion for left-handed users. Two holes accommodate both standard and jumbo pencils.

A note from HIDARI

A pencil sharpener is a tiny tool, but the direction of rotation makes a surprisingly big difference. We especially like this one for children and anyone who uses pencils often—the larger, more natural left-handed motion simply feels easier.

A Pencil Sharpener Designed for Left-Handed Writers

This left-handed pencil sharpener from BRUNNEN, a long-established German stationery brand, is built for smoother, more natural sharpening with your left hand.

BRUNNEN is known for its colorful, student-friendly stationery and has been a familiar name in Germany since the late 1800s. The brand consistently ranks among the country’s top stationery makers, trusted by schools, families, and everyday users.

Why a Left-Handed Pencil Sharpener?

Most pencil sharpeners are designed with right-handed users in mind.

Standard sharpeners cut as you rotate the pencil clockwise, which feels natural when held in the right hand.

This model sharpens in the opposite direction—counterclockwise—making it far easier and more efficient for left-handed users. The motion allows for a wider, smoother rotation, meaning you can shave off more wood in one go without awkward wrist angles.

If you’re left-handed, you may be used to making tiny rotations with your pencil, or even turning the sharpener itself instead. It works—but it’s not ideal. For children with less grip strength, or for anyone who uses pencils frequently, a left-handed sharpener makes a noticeable difference.

Fits Both Standard and Jumbo Pencils

The case is made from lightweight plastic and comes in two bright colors—Blue and Orange.

A secure lid keeps shavings contained and prevents small items from getting inside while you’re on the go.

Inside, there are two sharpening holes:

• Small for standard pencils

• Large for thick children’s pencils

The front is printed with the BRUNNEN logo and an “L” mark indicating its left-handed design.

A simple, smart tool that supports easy everyday writing—especially for left-handed kids.
