This part of the pencil can never be sharpened no matterhow hard you try. Even when the point is still sharp,this little left over bit doesn't seem to be of much usefor the task at hand. In a pinch it can be used for themost basic of tasks.

This is used to undo as much if not all the workdone by the lead-ers.
