If you are looking for mechanical pencil sharpeners, local office supply stores are a good starting point. If they do not carry them, they can mostly likely direct you on where to find them.
So that you'll be able to sharpen pencils of course!
A pencil sharpener uses a blade that rotates around the pencil shaving the wood back from the lead into a point so that it makes a point. A knife sharpener works by using a chunk of metal harder than the knife to shave metal off of the knife into a point to make it sharp.
The best places to look for pencil sharpeners are stores that provide office or school supplies, like Staples, Grand & Toy, your local drug store, and Walmart. Hobby or arts and crafts stores, such as Michaels, will also provide options.
You sharpen the pencil to put a point on it. Before sharpeners and when pencil wood was much thicker, men cut (whittled) the wood with a knife to make the point.
After a pencil is sharpened, the extra materials left in the sharpener are known as pencil shavings. These should be dumped regularly as old-school electric pencil sharpeners have been known to rarely catch on fire due to an overflow of pencil shavings in the machine.
