My wife said it was the sharpest pencil she had ever seen.... But she may have just been saying that because I was so excited about my purchase lol my 5 and 2 year old love it too

They're going to fight over it when you're dead. Find another one.

I remember that Panasonic sharpener from elementary school. It was the best pencil sharpener!

The sound it made brought me right back

This is definitely something they don't make like they used to

I can hear both of these sharpeners right now. Great find on that Panasonic.

I couldn't believe no one had got it yet, they must have just put it out.

I can hear this picture and it brings me back to childhood. Also, the freshly sharpened pencil smell.

I wonder if Sharp made a pencil sharpener.

Ooh I’m jealous! We had two of the Panasonic ones at work, one of them recently kicked the bucket. I tried to fix it but think it burned out. The other is still running smoothy decades since it was purchased

We used that Panasonic in a bowling alley (manual scoring). Fifty pencils a day for ~eight years, replacements never held up as well. Fantastic finds.

I waaaant your Panasonic. Had one in architecture school, why did I ever get rid of it?

There is just something about the quality of the Japanese built sharpeners

I worked for the drivers examiners in my state and people took the written test with pencil. They were constantly being sharpened there.

Who needs the panasonic... Just hook a power drill up to the Boston and go brrrr

Lol I'll use both

I was mostly joking haha. Both of those bring back the elementary school memories. Certainly a good find for $3!

Why is it so big? How is it made inside?

Sorry but standard pencils that need sharpening are NOT BIFL. Eventually they are sharpened down to nothing and must be thrown out. Sad.

The Panasonic

That Boston one brings back a ton of school memories, pretty sure the ‘50’s ones were still used in my school in the ‘70’s.

I still have one from when I was a kid. At least 20years now.

Bought that Panasonic in the late 80s. My 15yo son is using it now.
