The body member has an interior pencil sharpening chamber having respective left and right upper support platforms and respective left and right lower support platforms. There are respective left and right upper ramps that extend inwardly from the T-shaped opening to the respective left and right upper support platforms. There are also respective left and right lower ramps that extend inwardly from the T-shaped opening to the respective left and right lower support platforms. A transversely extending blade member has a rearwardly extending cutting edge that extends into the interior pencil sharpening chamber. The T-shaped opening of the pencil sharpener allows a carpenters pencil to be inserted at four different 90 degree positions in order to sharpen the four different sides of the carpenters pencil.
