It's a tiny bit of pencil, shaved by hand with a blade. I'll give it back to the kid I got it from.

i just sharpened a pencil all the way down to the eraser, and then cut that off. just the tip left, though my teacher made me use a longer one -.-

I sharpened a pen once.......
freeza36 says: Dec 25, 2011. 7:37 PM
everyday my friend goes to the front of the class and "sharpens" his pen for like 10 minutes, just so he can talk to people. He passes right under the teachers' radar

Whew, you can relax. Lemonie has the shortest. It must be a Brit thing to brag about it.

Kryptonite says: Aug 8, 2010. 10:35 PM
I thought a disk / belt sander and a pair of pliers would have helped with the sharpenning...
