Let the medieval siege commence was this charming catapult trebuchet pencil sharpener. With an antique bronze finish, rotating wheels and a functional crank and fire mechanism, this die-cast is a fun accessory for any desk or workspace. The first documented evidence of trebuchet use was in China in the 4th century BC. Every sharpener comes with a complimentary Benjamin Franklin pencil.  (Please Note:  This is not a kids toy, due to the sharpener's blade.)
