I think those are too light to be useful parrying tools. Even by the rules. Parrying something more than 7 times its weight breaks the parrying tool on greater than a 6 in 6 chance and doesn't count as a parry. An unsharpened pencil I have here weighs in at 4.5 grams on my postal scale, 7 times that is 31.5 grams, or 0.070 lbs. You could attempt a thrust/imp stop thrust with a sharpened pencil, but you won't be parrying anything significant with it
