Pencil sharpener/tool geeks/tinder maker!

[Monikieman]

I know that some folks like nice tools and nice things. Why? Well just because. It's a hard thing to explain.

So, a nice wee thing to have that reeks of quality.



A little bit heavy for those cutting weight but excellent for making tinder from dry branches and so much nicer than a plastic one.

It partly at least the brass...everything just looks better in brass (or brass, leather and polished wood)

Nice piece of engineering, bit sad seeing as it's only a pencil sharper.

 

[Clouston98]

Ooh this is bad, might have to say " mam, you know how you love me..." Must be worth a try!

And Red, your too right!

"Pencil sharpener porn"...................What an utterly unlikely phrase! I've just bought one of these 'cause they are, as the OP remarks, a "Cool Tool", but I suspect that the "porn" phrase had something to do with it!

I looked at that as well but it only takes 8mm the OP one takes 8 and 11mm
