A beaver is an animal that bites down a tree and builds a dam in the river with the fallen tree. When he hears the sound of water, he has a habit of biting a tree.

Designer Rodrigo Torres noticed that habit (?). Mr. Torres collaborated with Italian houseware maker ALESSI to develop "BEAVER PENCIL SHARPENER". This is a (?) Beaver-type pencil sharpener that has a habit of making you want to sharpen a pencil when you hear the sound of a pencil.


"BEAVER PENCIL SHARPENER" is a hand-cranked pencil sharpener that inserts a pencil into the beaver's mouth and turns it to sharpen it. Equipped with a cutter made by German STAEDTLER, you can enjoy sharp sharpness.


The material is chrome-plated Zamak. It is reasonably heavy, so it can also be used as a paper weight.


It is sold on European mail order sites such as Amazon.co.uk and panik. In Japan, NOFF NORTICASA seems to have some stock (at the time of writing the article).
