IDRAW Aluminum Pencil Sharpener Gets Right to the Point

Posted on by

I’ve heard of people trying to build a better mousetrap. I’ve never heard of anyone trying to build a better pencil sharpener. That is exactly Matt Marrocco hoping to do with his Kickstarter campaign. The project aims to produce electric and manual pencil sharpeners, going by the name IDRAW.

Everything about these sharpeners is designed to give you a perfect point for artwork and sketching. Each one is made from aircraft grade 6061 T6 aluminum and injection molded plastic. The electric pencil sharpener gets power from an internal USB rechargeable battery, while the manual version of course gets its power from your hand.

The device will be offered in satin silver, tactical black, and a limited edition gold anodized finish. A pledge of $25(USD) or more gets you a manual sharpener. A pledge of $65 or more gets you an electric sharpener in basic silver.

And for those of you who think that’s too much to spend on a pencil sharpener, this ought to put it in perspective:

 

Beaver Pencil Sharpener Doesn’t Give a Dam

To be honest, I haven’t used a pencil to write with in a long time. But for sketching and drawing, it’s still nice to use one. And what better way to keep your pencil sharp but by letting a beaver gnaw on it with its mighty incisors?

Ok, Alessi’s Kastor beaver pencil sharpener doesn’t have teeth, but it will put a razor-sharp point on your pencil, while looking cute sitting on your desk. It’s made from chrome plated Zamak – a durable metal alloy. Unlike an actual beaver, it requires no clean-up (other than the pencil shavings it holds in its belly).

Available from Panik Design for £37 (~$56 USD).

Unicorn Pencil Sharpener

It’s the only pencil sharpener in the world that sharpens your pencils using 100% rainbow magic. The Unicorn Pencil Sharpener turns a white horse into a #2 unicorn. And just like real unicorns, you can remove the horn to use as either a sharp pointed weapon or a writing instrument. Either way, it’s mightier than a sword (because it’s backed by unicorn magic).
