- 1). Look at the pencil. Determine if it is wrapped in paper or wood. Grease pencils wrapped in paper have a string near the wax point that can be pulled to quickly and easily sharpen the pencil. If it is paper-wrapped, simply pull this string and unwrap more wax.
- 2). Hold a knife at a 45-degree angle close to the end of a wood-wrapped wax pencil.
- 3). Bare down and push the knife toward the wax tip. Shave off a small amount of wood at a time until enough wax is exposed.
- 4). Repeat this shaving all the way around the wax to fully sharpen the pencil.
