A sharpener is the cheapest thing in a pencil case and the one that decides whether a pencil writes or snaps. Safencia stocks 26 of them from Rs. 47: pocket-size single-hole sharpeners, two-hole metal bodies that take both a standard pencil and a fat jumbo one, fancy shapes children pick for themselves, artist sharpeners cut for soft cores, crank-handle rotary machines for a desk, and 48 and 50-piece bulk packs for schools and shops.
Two things we spell out on every listing: how many pieces are in the pack, and whether the colour or character comes assorted from the display box. Model numbers printed on a Yalong or ORO carton do not always describe what is inside, so we count and photograph the pieces ourselves.
Match the sharpener to the pencil, not to the price. A standard 7–8 mm school pencil, a jumbo triangular one, a soft colour pencil and a charcoal stick all behave differently against a blade — the wrong opening either will not fit or will chew the core to pieces.
For a school pencil case
A small plastic or aluminium sharpener with a closed shavings case is the practical pick — nothing ends up on the desk or in the bag. If the case also holds jumbo or triangular pencils, buy a double-hole model instead of two separate sharpeners.
For a classroom or an office
A crank-handle rotary sharpener machine gets through a full box of pencils in the time a handheld does five, and the shavings stay in one drawer. Check whether the model clamps to the desk edge or sits on rubber feet.
For colour and drawing pencils
Soft cores break when a dull blade drags them. Use a sharp blade, turn slowly, and for charcoal and soft graphite or colour pencils consider an artist sharpener cut for a longer, gentler point.
Pencil Sharpener FAQs
What is the price of a pencil sharpener in Pakistan?
Safencia's sharpener range runs from Rs. 47 to Rs. 3,115. A plain single-hole sharpener sits at the bottom of that range, fancy and double-hole metal models in the middle, and rotary sharpener machines and 48 or 50-piece bulk boxes at the top. The current price is printed on every product card.
What is the difference between a single-hole and a double-hole sharpener?
A single-hole sharpener has one opening sized for a standard pencil barrel. A double-hole sharpener adds a second, wider opening for jumbo, triangular or thick colour pencils. If your pencil case mixes barrel sizes, the double-hole body saves you buying two sharpeners.
Is a sharpener machine better than a handheld sharpener?
It depends on volume. A rotary sharpener machine has a crank handle and a helical cutter, sits on a desk and sharpens a full box of pencils quickly with the shavings collected in a drawer — that suits classrooms, offices and stationery counters. A handheld sharpener costs a fraction of that and fits in a pencil case, which is what a single student actually needs.
Which sharpener should I use for colour pencils and charcoal pencils?
Soft cores snap against a blunt blade. Use a sharp blade, hold the pencil straight, and turn slowly rather than pressing. For charcoal, pastel and soft graphite pencils an artist sharpener that cuts a longer taper wastes less of the core; a wide double-hole opening also helps with thick colour pencil barrels.
Will a sharpener fit jumbo or triangular pencils?
Only if the opening is wide enough. Standard school sharpeners are cut for a normal round barrel. Every Safencia listing states whether the sharpener is single or double hole; if you are matching it to a specific jumbo or triangular pencil, send us the pencil on WhatsApp and we will confirm before dispatch.
Are bulk sharpener packs worth it for a school?
Yes, if you are supplying a class rather than a child. The 48 and 50-piece display boxes bring the per-piece cost down and arrive in assorted colours, which is why schools, tuition centres and stationery shops order them. Compare them on total pieces, not on the box price alone.
Will I get the exact colour or character shown in the photo?
Some fancy sharpeners are supplied from an assorted display box, so the shell colour or printed character varies. Send your preference on WhatsApp and Safencia will confirm which option is available before dispatch. The listed price does not change with that stock check.
Is Cash on Delivery available for sharpeners across Pakistan?
Yes. Safencia offers Cash on Delivery nationwide. WhatsApp is used to confirm stock, the assorted design where it applies, your delivery city and the delivery charges before dispatch.
