KUM
KUM, short for Kunststoff & Metallwarenfabrik, is a German brand that develops functional tools and accessories for artists, creatives, students and schoolchildren. The brand is best known for its pencil sharpeners, where precision, sharp blades and thoughtful construction are key. Today, the range also includes brushes, rulers, scissors, writing instruments and other creative accessories.
The family business was founded in Germany in 1919 and remains family-owned today. During its early years, the main focus was on pencil sharpeners in a variety of designs and formats. With more than a century of experience in developing sharpeners, KUM has built extensive knowledge of how the blade, angle and construction affect the result when sharpening a pencil.
KUM pencil sharpeners are available in a wide variety of models for graphite and coloured pencils. The range includes classic single-hole sharpeners, double-hole sharpeners and models with containers to collect shavings. Several sharpeners are designed for different pencil diameters, making it possible to sharpen both standard and thicker graphite and coloured pencils.
An important feature of KUM pencil sharpeners is the blade itself. A sharp, precise blade cuts the wood and lead evenly and helps reduce the risk of the tip breaking during sharpening. This is particularly useful for artists’ pencils and coloured pencils, where the properties of the core and the desired point can vary depending on how the pencil is being used.
KUM also offers products for drawing, painting and creative work. The range includes brushes in different shapes and sizes, rulers, scissors and other practical tools for artistic work, school and the desk. Across the range, the focus is on functionality, durable construction and thoughtful details that make the tools easy to use.
