This is a nostalgic Showa-era, manual pencil sharpener. It's a reliable "made in Japan" product. CARL minicle CP-80 Color: Turquoise Blue x Black 6cm (width) x 10.5cm (length including handle) x 9.5cm (height) I used it occasionally, but it's been a retro decoration for the past 10 years. I tried it out, and it sharpens pencils well.
