Hi Dominik,
You are very welcome and I also wish you all the love and creativity for 2019!! 

Thank you for the compliment and there are several reasons why I sharpen my pencils this way:
1: A pencil sharpener often breaks the tips
2: I can use the pencils flat and quickly create backgrounds and stuff
3: I can work more precise 
4: I am heavy handed and by giving my pencils longer tips, I forge myself to apply less pressure so I can put in more layers ^^  
5: I get a better view of what I am doing while drawing

I hope this makes sense Hahahahaha

Hello Lynn,
thanks for the explanations...
I use the method with a razor blade when drawing with a Conté Pierre Noire as well... but only because they definitely can't be sharpened in other ways.
When it comes to color pencils you could indeed work with a long point sharpener and get a somehow similar shape with all the 5 advantages you have named above... but sharpening will take you a fraction of the time.

I use the the KUM longpoint sharpener www.amazon.com/Kum-104-06-01-M… (mind that it doesn't work with the Caran d'Ache MUSEUM color pencils because those are about 8.5mm in diameter... but no problem with Polychromos for example)

I actually am looking for an electric longpoint sharpener... found the School SMART as in the following video...
but can't find it for european 220 Voltage

Maybe this can be of interest for you... but I don't want to criticise your method.... it's just so time consuming to sharpen pencils with a razorblade... and I know how much you use them
cheers

Hi Dominik,

Thank you so much and will check it out! 

Must say, I my years of drawing, I always fall back towards my knife because the sharpers quit being sharp after a week already... 
They break my points and make me very angry LOL 
     
Have a great search my friend and we will meet again in 2019!!!  
All the love - LIneke
