There aren’t too many of us now who need to sharpen a pencil in the first place, much less do it in a poetically inefficient manner. But that shouldn’t stop you from appreciating this beautifully-designed little sharpener, which takes off little shavings the way you might peel a pointy potato.

If I were the kind of guy who designed pencil sharpeners, I’d definitely use this to sharpen my pencils.
