Excellently engineered, inventively packaged and a delight to use, the finish makes this practical tool an enhancement to any desk or workstation. I would highly recommend this product.

Was a gift for my husband.. he loves tools and he loved this.. it was just as beautiful as it was in the add

I bought this little pencil plane for my husband as a Christmas present. He had no idea and had never heard of this tool. He was impressed with quality of workmanship. He is going to show it along with collections of antique wooden planes. He loves to refurbish and use antique wooden tools!

This is a quality tool. I got this as a Christmas present for my husband who appreciates a well made plane. He says it now occupies a spot on his workbench and he can also use it on his rectangular carpenter pencils.
Marian B.
I bought this as a present for a friend, who I knew would appreciate the beautiful design and engineering. I was right he was delighted with it.
Andrew H.
Bought as a Christmas present for a trainee architect. She loved it!
Sharon C.
Very tactile and nicely engineered
Linda D.
Bought for my husband as a present he is impressed with the quality .
Susan F.
I purchased this along with the holder and the Iris/holder for my husband for Christmas. He does a lot of fine woodworking and has most every tool/piece of equipment known to man. So what to get him for Christmas? These Makers Cabinet items were the perfect gift!
Jim C.
A thing of beauty. Both practical, tactile and ornamental, I wanted one of these at first sight. A really lovely thing.
Marsha A.
This item was purchased for my husband. He loves it but says he is still practicing with it.
Laurelin M.
It was a gift to my woodworker father and he was so pleased. He loved the look and the weight of it. Like a small sculpture!
Christine L.
I bought the Hovel as a gift for someone else so I haven’t had the pleasure of using it, but I was very impressed with the look and construction. I bought the walnut base to go along with it and found that it makes for a stunning piece. I feel it truly is a value. I am very tempted to get one for myself.

I was looking for a better way to sharpen my watercolor pencils as they are a bit larger than regular pencils. This works perfectly to get the right edge.
DONNY J.
Beautiful detail and EXCELLENT craftsmanship! Fits easily in my pants pocket or apron keeping it close at hand. Puts a perfect point on carpenter or standard pencils. A bit pricey but WELL WORTH the cost!
McLaren Brennan B.
I purchased this and the base for my husband's birthday and he was very impressed with the quality and beauty. He loves his pencils, so this is a perfect gift for anyone who cares about their writing implements or someone who just loves beautiful, functional things. Kudos!
Robert B.
I'm a woodworker and use a lot of hand tools. The Høvel is a beautiful micro plane that once adjusted works like a charm. The blades are nice and sharp, I do kind of wish they were more like a planes blade so they would be easier to sharpen even further. (I like my planes so sharp just looking at them wrong might cause need of a bandage)
Marion Reid R.
Beautiful piece of engineering and makes the pencil tip clean and precise.
The shavings are tiny curls, quite lovely I made an art work.
Pippa B.
I have bought both the Hovel pencil plane and the Iris drawing compass as Christmas presents but I did take a sneaky peek when they arrived (which incidentally was very efficient) Everything about them from the design, the weight and the way they are presented is stunning. They are both truly beautiful objects and I can only imagine that they will be a dream to use. Thank you to all those involved. One rarely comes across such good service. I am sure my husband will treasure both.

Fascinating! Watched the YouTube video.... quite a few times and practiced a lot!✍️
Martha H.
I got it to sharpen colored pencils and I’m still getting the hang of it but I love using it.
David L.
Wish I caught the sale price!

Great product that speaks of quality! I’m sure I will get many years of pleasure from it!

This is one fine piece of craftsmanship. I love the feel of it, the weight of it, and how it works perfectly!

Beautiful finish, works like a charm!
Marta P.
We just received our order and we couldn't be happier. We bought 10 pencil planes and walnut bases and they are of excellent quality, with a very beautiful packaging and they brought us a lot of joy. Hopefully they will have the same impact on our clients when they receive them this Christmas.
Jorge M.
Very Happy! with my order and such an excellent product thanks you MAKERS CABINET.
Bruce D.
I gave it to my son-in-law, a woodworker and shop teacher. He liked it very much.
Robert C.
I absolutely love the fact that this is not adding to the plastic crisis we face and adds such a wonderful presence to the drawing bench! Works like a dream, providing a long precise sharpened pencil with access to more lead/pigment than other sharpeners.
Gary H.
Best pencil sharpener ever! High quality, precision blade that makes sharpening your favorite pencils fun..
Andrew W.
Sharp pencils critical and a wonderful aesthetic
Julie M.
Still getting used to using this beautifully made sharpener but love it's design and quality.
Charlie E.
So sturdy and very well made.
Jennifer R.
This is a work of art and functionality. It has a good heft to it. It’s a perfect complement to a standard sharpener, because this allows absolute precision for sharpening the pencil tip. It’s perfect for pencil crayons as well as graphite.
Melinda H.
It is a great tool. I wish I’d ordered the base too. It’s a bit difficult to shave a pencil without the base.
Jason N.
Highest of quality products, and makes sharpening pencils FUN!!!
Perry G.
I purchased this as a birthday present for my fiance. She is a fine art artist. She absolutely loves it! It screams quality! It is such a pleasure to hold and use.
Wendy H.
The sharpener works great for a really fine point
Sutton-Olson C.
Beautifully made! So sleek and so shiny.... could easily be a piece of art! I love it!!!
Deborah S.
I gave the Hovel to my brother-in-law for his birthday and he was thrilled. Beautiful workmanship, great idea. London to Los Angeles in about a week.
Donna S.
Purchase went smoothly- giving as a gift for Christmas so I’ll let you know
TAMMIE C.
Hard to figure out how to use it and the wood kept breaking on the pencil I had
MAURICIO R.
It's a revolutionary technique to get the right sharpening. It's true what they say, practice makes it better. Very clever way of sharpening your pencils without having the led break off all the time. Nice masterpieces.
Andrew B.
My Hövel with the walnut base is one of my most loved tools.
Worth every penny.
Marguerite P.
I bought this for my husband who is an engineer and a woodworker. He loves the precision of the tool and the beauty and weight of it. One of the best presents for a guy like this.
Aaron T.
fabulous...watch your fingers
Sheila F.
MY husband has been drawing with colored pencils during the lockdown. This was a lovely gift to keep those pencils sharp and ready.
James M.
Its awesome, it took a little bit of time to learn how to sharpen an American carpenter pencil with it, just bummed that i didn't get the leather pouch it said it came with.
Peg .
This is a must have for people obsessed with beautiful pencils. You sharpen as you like it without chewing away and wasting precious lead. It takes a couple tries to learn, but super easy. Love it
Andrea D.
I’ve had my Hovel for a few months and pretty much use it everyday. One person remarked saying he thought it was stupid but he doesn’t get it. There’s something so methodical about the action. Love how my pencils look. Thank you.
Makarand S.
Awesome product and engineering.
Simple to use, gives precise control on pencile shaving. Looks cool on your desk.
Darcy D.
It was a splurge but got delivered on a day I really needed it. Thanks!
Janet B.
This is by far the best tool in my bag. I am an artist and use conte and pastel pencils often. The Hovel pencil plane sharpens them beautifully!!!!!
Gena T.
I love this. It keeps my dear husband busy for hours! Hours I can spend doing naughty things at the neighbors house.
He just works so hard to keep all the pencils sharp! It’s beautiful. And if I need a little me-time a quick snap or two is all I need!
Aoife L.
I bought this as a birthday present for my friend, I'm excited to give it to him, it's so beautiful and I think he will love it. How to make the act of sharpening your pencil, an experience.
