Cant really understand the need for the pencil sharpener. Heck, you have a knife in there. I don't even use pencil sharpeners to sharpen pencils! (plus my kids think its cool when dad sharpens pencils with a kinfe - it DOES get me some looks at work sometimes, but I try to be descrete about it. I HAVE gotten my entire department comfortable with the fact I carry a knife, and 75% of the people in the department now do too!
