What is the best way to sharpen pencils?

Hold the pencil firmly in one hand and make sure the tip is pointing away from you. Use slow and certain strokes in an outward direction to sharpen the pencil. You can also use a special carpenter's pencil sharpener. Insert the pencil into the hole, and slide it back and forth against the blade of the pencil sharpener.
