An ordinary wooden pencil is made to be self-sharpening, through the addition of a discrete grip-sleeve where you hold it. Concealed in the grip sleeve is a blade, which, at the press of a button, extends at exactly the right angle.
Holding the pencil and twisting the grip sharpens the pencil.
As
the blade retracts, it passes over a small yet pefectly angled shard of whetstone which keeps it at optimal sharpness.
The whole kebang is, needless to say, transferrable from one pencil to another.

Pretty sure this is a pencil sharpener. The sharpener has a built in sharpener, too, but it isn't sold separately. |
|

Also, the way you titled it, one would be led to believe that your pencil sharpener sharpener is made out of pencil which is both false and blindingly stupid. |

May I suggest "Pencil sharpener sharpening pencil"? Have some hyphens to spread around as you wish {--} <==(not fishbones) |
|
| |
not sure how grips come into it: your title indicates a pencil made out of whetstone which is inserted into the sharpener and rotated in the opposite direction. |
|

OK, I submit; silly title changed. |
|

rats, I was hoping you'd change the text... just kidding... [+] |

Could we mount a pencil sharpener within somebody's facial hair, a moustache for example? |
|

I often wondered how Edwardian villains kept their moustaches so impeccably pointed. Now it becomes clear to me - pencil mounted moustache sharpeners. |
|
| |
//pencil mounted moustache sharpeners// One wonders if they could be arranged within some kind of planetary gearing mechanism, so both pencil and moustache can be simultaneously sharpened? |
|
| |
An idea is forming, not yet even half-baked, for a Universal Sharpener, which will simultaneously sharpen everything with a single wrist movement. |
|
| |
Wow, you have an infinite depth of field? In which case isn't the focus knob redundant? |
|
| |
so its also a pencil sharpener sharpener and also a
pencil pencil sharpener. |

I'm almost tempted to resurrect the "router router router .." idea. |
