KUM Double Blade System®

All KUM® cosmetic sharpeners from the 6000 series are equipped with 2 blades. The main blade on the top and a second blade that cuts the round tip. The so called KUM® Double-Blade System® is the result of years of research anddevelopment and of the precision manufacturing capabilities of KUM®.

How does it work?

Two high-carbon tempered steel blades cut the tip of the make-up pencil into a nicely rounded point. They are the main components of the KUM® Double-Blade System®, an original invention of the manufacturer and available only on KUM® Cosmetics Sharpeners.

The smaller steel blade gives the pencil tip a rounded shape. High-precision positioning of the pencil within the sharpener body allows effective shaping of all types of cosmetics compounds, including the very most delicate creamy formulas used in the best make-up pencils made today.

In order that your shaperner stays neat and hygienic you should cleanse it after every use. The cleaning stick, built right into each sharpener, is the only instrument you should clean your sharpener with. The use of any metal object would immediately ruin the very fine cutting edge of the two steel blades. If you use the integrated cleaning stick your sharpener will not only be clean and hygienic but also will last for a long time.

Dynamic Torsion Action®

The larger of the two blades is equipped with KUM® Dynamic Torsion Action®. Under constant tension the blade adjusts dynamically to the different forces bearing on the pencil while sharpening. These forces arise from the various materials in the pencil casing and the lead as today’s pencils can be made from an very wide variety of woods, plastics and cosmetics formulas. The dynamic action of the KUM® main blade is due in part to its shape, a slight positive curve. If a straight blade were to be mounted onto the sharpener body, it would bend to a slight negative curve under the sharpening forces. This would not allow a satisfying cut.
