This Novelty Pencil Sharpener Plays on the Likeness of Pirates

— March 5, 2013 — Art & Design
This novelty pencil sharpener is about as witty as they come. It plays on the common depiction of pirates possessing a wooden leg. Its leg can be removed and replaced with any sort of pencil, pencil crayon and/or maybe even eyeliner you may own. Now all you need is a pencil with a fitting eraser topper, like a parrot or a boot to match.

The pirate itself is actually quite adorable. It is very cartoon-y and has a lovable and stout physique. It also of course has the iconic patch, beard and hook for a hand. This novelty pencil sharpener is just another of many different ways to customize and add personality to your desk and office.
