Oh I am sure you can. Just like some people use sandpaper to sharpen pencils. Rocks are natures sandpaper.
as opposed to a custom pencil made from the carbonized pinkie finger of a 19th century poet, being is the only pencil worthy of being sharpened by your hypothetical and modestly proposed sharpener.
but when you mention the real brand of pencils so specifically it rather directly compares anyone (real people) who has these (actual) pencils to people dumb enough to pay 100 bucks for an absurdly conceived and fictional product.
its seems unnecessarily demeaning of real people, and all they ever did to you was enjoy a thing.
fyi, not miffed. just saying that if someone enjoys a 50 dollar pencil, what kind of douche wants to take any part of that away? joy is fleeting, dont be a grinch
good sharpener gag though, up to that point. thats where it went from thought provoking to gag inducing. just my 2 cents.
Personal reaction: There are a number of things a dedicated simple, small knife could be useful for (I just added a striking knife to my woodworking kid) and thereās no reason it canāt be playful while itās being useful.
As far as pencil sharpeningā¦ There are sometimes reasons to sharpen pencils to shapes other than conical points. (Iāve been doing that for the past week or two since Iāve wanted a wide line for tracking surface preparation of wood) If you do that on a regular basis, you may want a blade available, at least as an option. Or you may want to use sandpaper, or other techniques besides the standard āpencil sharpenersā. Depending on whether you normally carry a blade, having one that lives at your desk may be a perfectly reasonable idea. Makes at least as much sense as fancily-styled letter openers, which are or were a pretty standard desk accessory.
De gustibus. Not especially interesting to me for the stated purpose, but sorta interesting as an alternative design exercise on something normally taken for granted.
