Summary/Abstract: School equipment has not been a common object of interest for dialectologists and therefore this article focuses on two issues that have not been discussed to date, i.e. names of an item used for removing marks made by a pencil and a verb for sharpening a pencil, crayon, etc. The research material is the data collected by means of an online survey. The geography of the analysed lexemes, their presence in selected lexicographic sources and origin is discussed.
