Police probably call it an offensive weapon.
Apparently its even frowned upon carrying a screwdriver around with you
these days.

Thats what we called the small hand held device with a blade used to
sharpen a pencil.

My son, raised in s different part of the country, calls it a pencil parer
and yesterday I heard his wife, from anothe part of the country, call it a
pencil topper.

Any other names out there ?
