pencil sharpeners
Graphite stick groomers
Pencil sharpeners are devices for sharpening pencils by shaving wood and graphite to form a point.
The simplest is a small blade housed in plastic or metal; others are hand-cranked or electric.
The classroom pencil sharpener was bolted to the wall.
The term occasionally describes people who perform tedious or low-level clerical tasks.
