Who invented pencil sharpeners?

Mechanical pencils are the same in principle. They allow you to have a (somewhat) sharp point on a pencil without causing the user to have a decent writing utensil without spending 5 minutes trying to get a sharp point on a regular pencil.


Why was the first pencil sharpener invented?

Before mechanical pencil sharpeners, pencils were sharpened by whittling the wood back with a pocketknife to expose fresh pencil lead. This took practice and skill to do properly. Pencils sharpened by hand this way often looked a little "ragged". The mechanical pencil sharpener was invented to simplify sharpening of pencils and produce a more reproducible result without needing endless practice.
