Description
This cheerful pencil sharpener is made to look like a red carton piled high with yellow fries, and it does its work with a turn of the hand crank. The chunky fries stand up in rows above a white rim, with the pencil hole set among them at the front, while the red crank handle sweeps round from one side and ends in a white ridged grip. It is made from plastic, metal and foam, and it measures 9.6cm long, 6.8cm wide and 8.3cm tall, small enough to keep within easy reach on a desk, with a flat base that sits squarely while you wind.
We think it belongs on a desk or craft table, wherever pencils wear down quickly: a home study, a drawing corner or a shared workspace. Pop a pencil into the hole among the fries and turn the handle, and there is no need for batteries or a plug, just a few easy turns by hand. The bright red, yellow and white colours bring a bit of fast food fun to a row of pens and notebooks, and it makes a playful talking point for anyone who likes their stationery with a sense of humour.
The carton, rim and fries form one compact body, and the handle turns the sharpening workings inside. To keep it bright, wipe the outside with a soft, slightly damp cloth, dry it straight away and keep it clear of water so the inner parts stay in good order. Sharpen with a steady, gentle turn rather than forcing the pencil. Set it beside a pot of colouring pencils for a cheerful corner of the desk, or wrap it up as a small, fun gift for a desk that needs some colour.
