no it is in fact a first class lever because a see-saw is first class and this is basically a see saw except instead of a handle on each side there is 2 on one side so therefore its a first class but people think it is a second class because of scissors but this a scissors have a difference and that difference it that when using scissors when you move one handle, it moves on the other side of the fulcrum but with a can opener the handles make the actual metal that opens the can move not just the same thing but on the other side

A pencil isn't a lever at all, unless you are using it to turn force into useful motion. If you use the pencil to write with, it's closer to being a needle reading a record, as it is dragged across a surface, leaving graphite which has broken off of the main core on the paper. For a first class lever, think of a see-saw. For a second class lever, think of a wheelbarrow. For a third class, think of a pair of nail clippers, or of your forearm.
