Hot take: OP went to grade school with 70 razor blades in his backpack. That probably had something to do with the response here.
You’d think that someone whose best story was about sharpeners would learn to spell sharpener.
My impression was that they were writing it as they contemporaneously verbalized it for effect and/or whimsy. Kids eat the e.
Just buy one quality sharpener that isn’t shit and will last
As someone who parents kept buying cheap sharpners every few years I hate cheap sharpners because they often break the tips of pencils and get jammed unless you apply a amount of force that starts to get uncomfortable if done for a while
Not the original commenter, but high carbon steel blades, and preferably a magnesium body.

I once, fatefully, wondered what would happen if I sharpened my little finger (it fit so well) and now I can’t even look at the damn things. Anyway, now you have you think about that too. Tbf the way the nail peeled was briefly very satisfying before it went too far…
I’ve never cringed so hard that I puckered my lips until today. This was worse than the concept of nailclippers on teeth.
I’m pretty sure I once or twice tried sharpening my nail, but I never went too far.
On the other hand (pun intended) I once got the end of my fing the pinched between the pneumatic cylinder and the thing it was actuating. There was a bit of a clearance so it didn’t flatten my digit, but it left a good amount of blood under my fingernail, which hurt a lot. A friend advised me to grab a small drill bit and put a hole into the nail so the pressure is relieved, but it didn’t want to go through… Until it bit in and I drove it maybe a millimeter into my flesh. That hurt even more… But after a while it got way better.
I was confused for a moment. For me, a “sharpener” is a “knife sharpener” first and foremost…
