Plain:
  • Its sharpens in a cone shape
  • Blades scrape of shavings
  • it grows to a point because of the shape of the inside.
  • new pencil


Have you ever had a blunt annoying pencil. If you have you have probably heard of a pencil sharpener. Ever wondered how it works??? Well this is how.


Well you place your pencil inside of the sharpener you probably notice how the pencil shape fits in snug. You have a sharp blade that slides downwards scraping of the outer area of your pencil top. As you twist the pencil the opposite way you twist  the sharpener, the blade works it way down the pencil shaving of the parts of the pencil until it's the sharpness you want.  You then remove the pencil and begin to continue to write.


The pencil sharpener has 3 main parts. The blade,the body,and the nail. The blade scrapes down the pencil making the led become taller and keeping it in that point shape is the body. Most sharpeners have to holes a large one and the average sized one. The body is the second most important part after the blade. But this whole wouldn't work without the nail. The nail keeps the whole thing together, and that's how and what goes into using a pencil sharpener.
