 Who in the universe is this $200 pencil for? It has a built in sharpener, silver cap uh... but I still don't get it?

With expensive pens maybe it's handmade, or the nib is gold and handmade and yeah even then it gets silly. 

But I thought the "pencil fandom" was more about ... using a knife to sharpen vintage pencils or something. 

I won't be mean I promise can someone explain this?
