I have to admit, the Pencut tool is a rather deceiving piece at first. This pen-like accessory is actually a pair of scissors in disguise.
Although without writing capabilities, the Pencut tool is still a rather neat piece of Japanese stationary nonetheless. Aren't they all? Not only is it compact, but it's also safe to carry around. Sold for $7.80, just don't forget to pack a pen as well.
