This current crop of stubby pencils is running about 2 ½ - 3 inches. They are great box openers! But also a choking hazard! Keep away from pets and children! I think I need to require a “concealed bronze pencil permit” to obtain this piece. In fact, I’m not even sure I want to keep making them because they’re so pointy and sharp and bite-size! Unlike the gun industry, I don’t want anyone to get hurt.
