In honor of my impending birthday, Nick Southam gifted me with a *pocket knife* and, rather than stabbing me repeatedly like I thought he would, proceeded to show me how to sharpen pencils like a Man (TM). I'll never use a conventional pencil sharpener again. The irregular, chisel tip you get from whittling (or sanding) is unbeatable. Super thin and super thick in one instrument, like the calligraphy pens I like. Compare with the conventional, pointed-tip stroke, as represented by the woman with the round hair.
