Everything about these sharpeners is reversed for a TRUE Left-Handed sharpening motion. Hold any of the 5 Left-Handed sharpeners in your right hand. With the pencil still in your left hand, just insert into sharpening hole and twist the pencil counter-clockwise, the natural sharpening motion. The small hole is for a standard size pencil and the large hole is for an over-sized pencil. Oh, the technical stuff (or why it's such a great product): The blade is hard (ultra-hard high carbon steel). The blade is razor sharp. The blade is curved, which applies continuous pressure onto the pencil. The most important result...these sharpeners always make their point!
