Preface

Inventory is our international round-up of what to buy and where to buy it.

El Casco
Pencil sharpener
Founded as a pistol manufacturer in 1920 in Spain's Basque country, El Casco was forced to diversify after the Great Depression, and it built a stationery hardware business based on its gun makers' techniques. Revered by those in the know as the best stationery hardware producer in the world, the company meticulously polishes and adjusts each component of its products, such as this pencil sharpener, by hand.
