Relatedly, looking for one online, I learned what those manual pencil sharpeners with the two holes are for. I've tried for years to use regualr pencils in it and all it does is chew them up. My Laddie fit in it and sharpened it, but it's not a writing point.

Its for crayons.

I shoved a random, ancient red crayon we had in the desk in there and it made a perfect crayon point. That's pretty cool.

Question for all you #pencil users out there. I found a #Laddie pencil at work and I really like it. But it doesn't fit into any of our sharpeners. For thsoe that have never heard of them, they're a pencil with a thicker barrel and core. I really like it, but the point is getting dull.

I'm looking for a manual sharpener that these will fit in. Any suggestions?
