What is a "pencil sharpener"?
A pencil sharpener is a tool used to sharpen the point of a pencil by removing a small amount of wood and exposing the lead inside. It typically consists of a blade or rotating mechanism that shaves the pencil to a fine point, allowing for precise writing or drawing. Pencil sharpeners come in various forms, including manual hand-held sharpeners, electric models, and larger versions for classrooms or offices. Some sharpeners feature a container to collect shavings, while others have adjustable settings to control the sharpness of the pencil tip.
