| Sep 23, 2013 at 19:39 | comment | added | aarbee | @Mistu4u- May I please know which part of India do you belong to? I am also an Indian and I can't imagine that somebody from India would call it a pencil-cutter instead of a sharpener. It's such a common term, I believe. | |

| Mar 18, 2013 at 9:45 | comment | added | mcalex | 10 upvotes? The wikipedia entry for pencil (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pencil) answers this question (albeit somewhat obliquely) | |
| Mar 18, 2013 at 3:38 | comment | added | Mistu4u | Actually my question was on the process of sharpening the pencil more than name of the device. So title should emphasise on the process. | |

Changed the question to be more searchable. Feel free to edit if you think of a better name.

| Mar 17, 2013 at 18:00 | comment | added | Mistu4u | @StoneyB, thank you. I knew neither of the terms. A loose Google search pushed me towards taking pencil cutter as the right term. | |
| Mar 17, 2013 at 17:58 | comment | added | StoneyB on hiatus | We don't call it a pencil cutter, we call it a pencil sharpener and we use it to sharpen the pencil. | |
