Introduced in 1988, the K’Zool is named after KEZURU(削る) which means to shave or whittle down in Japanese. The K'Zool allows the user to choose among 5 blade lengths via a dial. The sharpness of the core remains visible at all times allowing for fine adjustments. Push-button mechanism to easily clear snapped leads. Contoured body for comfortable use. Shutter to prevent escaped shavings. Boxed.
The T’Gaal is named after TOGARU(尖る) which means to taper to a point in Japanese (it also means to 'look displeased'.. should you need to show off!) A classic since 1993, the T'Gaal allows the user to select the optimal angle of the core tip by using a dial. Use a low number for soft leads or colored pencils and a high number for hard leads that you'd like to sharpen to a long point. Contoured body for comfortable use; shutter to prevent escaped shavings. Boxed.
2'MAIBA means "two blades" in Japanese. The two separate blades allow the core to be sharpened twice as quickly than with a standard sharpener; also, because fewer revolutions are required, the blades last longer. Very comfortable shape. Shutter to prevent escaped shavings. Boxed. When time is of the essence..
