What's best to use in order to cut a pencil in half longways?
I want to cut a pencil at both ends about 1/2 inch deep, in order to have a rubber band fit inside. What would be best to use? Bandsaw? Pocket knife?

Using a knife will waste the least amount of material. Cutting it in half with a bandsaw will turn a thin section of your pencil into dust, so the two halves will not fit together the way they used to.
If you're going to use a knife, build yourself a jig to hold the pencil in place so you don't sever a finger.

Easiest would be a fine toothed hacksaw blade. Plus the kerf of the blade would hold the rubberband good.
