A pencil sharpener is disclosed. The pencil sharpener may include a first receptacle for sharpening a distal end of a pencil; and a second receptacle for heating the distal end of the pencil, the heater configured to heat an end of the pencil at a temperature corresponding to a material of the pencil.

A pencil sharpener has a base, a blade assembly, and a cap. The blade assembly is mounted to the base and has a first pencil entry. The cap is pivotally connected to a side of the base, configured to pivot between a first position and a second position, and has a second pencil entry whose inner diameter is smaller than an inner diameter of the first pencil entry. When the cap is at the first position, the second pencil entry is located above the first pencil entry along an axis, such that a pencil is insertable into the blade assembly through the second pencil entry and the first pencil entry in order. When the cap is at the second position, the cap is withdrawn from a space above the blade assembly, such that another pencil is insertable into the blade assembly through the first pencil entry along the axis.
