WSS FIELD NOTES

The oddity
has a point.

It may look like a punchline. Look closer: what it does, why it caught our eye, and who would actually enjoy it.

01 / THE ODDITY

What on earth is it?

A hand-powered pencil sharpener disguised as a human nose. The hard plastic body is roughly 5.7 cm long, and the sharpening opening sits in a nostril. The linked listing contains one nose, not a classroom bulk pack.

02 / IN ACTION

What do you do with it?

Insert a suitable pencil into the opening and turn it as you would with an ordinary small sharpener. Empty the shavings as needed. The pencil in the photo shows the use; it is not a claim that stationery is included.

03 / OUR TAKE

Why it made the cut

There is no need for the sharpener to resemble a body part. Moving the pencil hole into a nostril makes an entirely familiar motion instantly uncomfortable, which is a surprisingly efficient amount of weirdness for one small object.

04 / THE RIGHT PERSON

Who would love it?

Desk pranksters, stationery collectors and coworkers who appreciate a joke that still has a practical use.
