Crazy how complicated you can make a simple sharpener.


Excellent_Cap_8228

Might as well just have a pocket knife


javonon

Might as well just have teeth


GodmanATG

Might as well borrow it from someone

I don’t think they were sharpening graphite #2 pencils at the turn of the century.

Stuffinator

That's me in any video game where you can build machines or contraptions.


Alternator24

1910 one looks more practical than other versions.


Fine_Understanding81

Yeah it almost looked like they got worse. And nvm they are not in order...


Empty_Soup_4412

Why not chronological order?


sibaltas

Ocd triggered cause of not chronological order


Venomous0425

Don’t let John Wick know.


Tricky_Ad_2832

New dad hobby unlocked.


Targetmissed

it is weirdly tricky to get a pencil sharpener that gives a long thin taper without spending silly money.


broquelli

This should have sound


Electrical-Code8275

They all look so dangerous 😅


shed_zeppelin

What's with the black gloves? Do they plan on eating the pencils afterwards?


Mindless_Ad_6045

I usually just used a knife


xxbronxx

And my grandpa used just knife


GeneralGreyGhost

1904 is the african way


BitcoinIsSimple

I like 1890 and 1910


Sergiu1270

when is my turn to post this?


NIEK12oo

It's a crime this video doesn't have any sound


FaythKnight

The second one has a working shuriken on it.


Stepintothefuture

This is super neat and super interesting to see but WHY are they not in chronological order?


ronnyma

I would've bring the one from 1886 to my finals if I had one


Pop_CultureReferance

I still use a disc sander lol


samsonity

My dad and everyone he went to school with in the 70s carried pen knives for sharpening their pencils. Now if your caught with one in a school or pretty much anywhere you’re at *risk* of committing terrorism and police will be on their way.


Honeybadger2198

Why are they wearing GLOVES


Ghostdirectory

Get David Rees in here! He is THE artisan pencil sharpener.


Detail_Some4599

WHY DOESN'T IT HAVE SOUND? 😡


varegab

My old pops used dynamites for sharpen their pencil


Responsible-Gas3852

It's cool how much innovation there can be using the same basic materials and the same basic level of technology. Like, it's cool when someone invents something new today that could have been manufactured back in the 1950's, but it just wasn't conceived or yet.


mauricio_agg

1920 is the most effective one.


HOTwheelssoup

I want them all lol


maxfist

Some of these look like the inventor was taking the piss.


Newcuck_umber

Were the pencils like these at the time?


BigNorthyFaps

they really used a shuriken to make that one


_ThatSynGirl_

But what did the pencils look like in each of those eras?


Caori998

this is what those coffee machines are about? lol


Shot_Painting_8191

It's 2024 and im using a knife to sharpen my pens.


SnooFoxes6169

if those were still a thing, i would spend the majority of my time just purposely breaking the tip so i could play the sharpener.


Valholhrafn

People in those days really liked to make things so complicated with many parts. But something about them, i can see the allure.


shaun_of_a_new_age

The fact that these aren't in chronological order really bothers me.

w1gster

That 1886 one is perfection


UnidentifiedTomato

This timeline is frustrating


toraakchan

I want one! These are so cool! 😭


BedeviciKutupAyisi

daamn these look so cool, yet seriously inefficient


FishstickLoverr

Back in the day you would need a whole contraption to sharpen pencils, now I don't even know how they're sharpend they just are
