I am a great fan of any designs that reduce an objects functionality right down to the bare minimum without reducing its usability, and even though this pencil sharpener design has no electronic wizardry like a majority of the gadget and gizmos we feature here on Geeky Gadgets its simple form is definitely a winner in my book.

The Twist is simple stainless steel sheet of metal which has been bent to mimic a pencil shaving, and is equipped with one sharp edge which is carefully hidden under the other non-sharp edge, to stop any unwanted accidents while sharpen your pencil.

The minimalist pencil sharpener has been designed by a team of four made up of Tianyu Wu, Yinbin Shuai, Mingya Wei & Zhengyu Lin and is currently an iF concept design entry.
