Don't laugh at his dimunitive size, at 2 1/2" tall and 1 1/2" diameter, this little pecker really doesn't look satisfying. However, add a pencil, eyeliner or wooden stylus into the hole on top and watch him point out why you can't do without him!

The Peni Pencil Sharpener is made of lightweight plastic and has a basic, old-fashioned, metal, sharpening blade inside to make quick work of your pencils. You can't beat the sharp tip and minimal waste of eyeliner or pencil, unlike the electric ones which love to eat your pencil and eyeliner.

The packaging claims this is a paperweight as well, but it must be for tracing paper since he is a bit on the lighter side. I was given this little guy by an employee as a gag gift and it blew over as soon as we opened the door. I admit, I keep this in the break room, not on my desk where it will be seen by clients. However he gives me a laugh every time I use him.

The little sharpener makes a great gift for the bride to be, a birthday, or other adult related occasion. Make a friend smile and add some colorful pencils or eyeliners. Give it to the going-to-college girl with some colored pencils, cheer a friend up, add some crayons and a goofy coloring book as a gag gift!!

All joking aside for a few, this is actually a really good pencil sharpener. I use pencils for my proofs and design work and the tips are always very sharp and pointed. When I use it for eyeliner or my wooden stylus, it gets the points sharp, but I do back off before it hits the end. For the points that inevitably break off inside, a straightened paper clip will pop them right out. This is also nice for my grease pencils which I use to mark out my work areas and center lines. I have pretty much quit using my electric sharpener since it ate my pencils and grease pencils too fast.

This little guy makes me smile every time I sharpen my pencils!! After three years, the blade is still sharp and it works like a dream.
