That doesn't mean that I didn't fall for it, though. A friend approaches me at the Ohio Pen Show and says, "I'll bet you don't know what this is," and I'm thinking to myself "OK, Jon. . . you know this. Television remote control? No. Nuclear weapon detonator? No, looks a little small. Pocket pasta maker? Hmm..."
Duh. I'm at a pen show. I'm a pencil guy with a giant booth promoting my new book about pencils. Someone approaches me with an object and asks me to guess what it is. Why did I fall for it? He should have asked me if I wanted a "hurts donut" while he was at it.
So here's the pencil . . .

This is like the Long and Short Diamond Point (see http://www.ebay.com/itm/300611801848?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649)
Yes, very similar. But note that the Diamond Point pencil shown in that auction doesn't have a "section" like the pen does.
Thanks for the input!
