deuk young lee: eraser pencil


'duk1106 eraser pencil' by deuk young lee


'duk1106', an 'eraser pencil' designed by korea-based deuk young lee,
replaces the wooden body of conventional pencils with a rubber eraser. produced inexpensively
via injection molding, the device is still sharpenable, but eliminates the extra material of wood
that normally adds no additional functionality to a pencil. lee states that the pencil is furthermore
more comfortable than traditional models: stable enough to be gripped easily but causing less fatigue
over extended periods of writing.

"eliminates the extra material of wood that normally adds no additional functionality"
...except perhaps from preventing the lead from snapping like this one would :)

Buuuuullshit!
please you should pick and choose good project... not crazy one with no real smart point and impossible to make!!!
Marlo   08.14.11
It's not impossible to make. This design concept has been done years ago. There's already a bendable version of rubber pencil in the market and if you dig deeper you might just find one that's almost the same as this one.
