do you still use pencil sharpeners?

Question

My mom used an electric one the other day, i just laughed. i always use pens, and when i dont, i use mechanical pencils.

great question, huh

yes u can pet me

Answer 1

- - mechanical pencils rule--I run out of eraser - that's my problem. When nobody is looking, I still use those fist - sized erasers that so many of us kept in "pencil pouches" like back in second grade:)

Answer 2

I'm an artist so I deff do use pencils due to thier diff types of led for shading ect. It's alot easier to do loose art with them because you can wear down the tip, while I do use mechanical pencils for writing when I can. It gives it a nice clean crisp feel. But wow-now that I think of it, it's been a while since I've seen an electric pencil sharpener.

But I must be stone age because I use a small manual one! lol!

Answer 3

Some times. By the way, I have a pencil sharpener here on my desk that looks like an ink bottle, however, while I do sometimes use wood pencils, I do not use a quill or fountain pen.

Answer 4

Well the only natural answer is a pencil. But I am sure it can sharpen many other long items.

Answer 5

I haven't seen a pencil sharpener in years, mechanical pencils only

Answer 6

when i am teaching we do b/c the kids aren't allowed to have mechanical pencils. at home, though, use pens or mech. pencils as well. interesting questions!

Answer 7

Yup, everyone uses mechanical pencils these days.

Answer 8

Still use color pencils for mark-ups, so the old sharpener survives.

Answer 9

When I'm at school i do :) The sharpener must be from the 70's too haha

Answer 10

yes, you cant sketch very well with mechanical pencils and electric sharpeners are not convienient nor portable
