Are the ends pointed or blunt/flat?

They are not needle sharp but they are pointed. The very tip is somewhat blunt, maybe 1/8 inch across. But there are 4 sides tapered to that point. I have very hard, rock-filled soil and there was no problem driving them into the ground.

The stakes are pointed to enable easy driving into soil, grass etc. I have even driven them into old fallen trees though it can be hard to retrieve them. You should take a regular claw hammer which is the best for retrieving them in all situations.

They are not sharp. They are tapered to a blunt point and are easy to drive into even the hard packed clay I have. Very much worth the price.

In whićh direction? width or the length of the points? I can measure mine tomorrow if you let me know :-)

Mine were somewhat curved at the ends. They will wrap around in a rectangular way through. Hope that makes sense. I no longer have this set but was satisfied with them. Sold RV.

On some at the tip of the handle, there is some roughness. At the end where the spatula part is, there are corners. But I wouldn't necessarily say that they are sharp. Hope this helps.

They are sharp - they are not rounded. But I should add - I got them for my daughter at 15/16 months. She's been playing with them without issue. They aren't needle point sharp. I don't see them 'stabbing' her or giving her splinters. They just aren't rounded.

The ones I bought arrived as is without a knife. The ends are sharp enough to pierce thin wood or thin metal with a good toss.

It is definitely a rounded end. If you read my review, we had one like this for 35 years, and the handle finally separated from the blade. We were overjoyed when we found this one on Amazon and ordered two of them.

They're flat. They have a small. Flat border at the bottom which may, from the picture, make them look flared.

The sticks are neutral. They don't curve left or right, but you can bend them to form the way you want to for a righty or lefty.

The point is ground and does have a distal taper. Its not quite as thin as the classic Kabar 7" bladed knife, but thats mostly due to the point being a straight clip point and not curved. I'd say, having owned and used both, that this knife tip is about the same. It is fine enough to pick splinters and do fine work, but robust enough to drill holes in wood (if your a bushcrafty kind of fellow). This is not a sharpened crowbar of a survival knife, it is however a real handy sized knife capable of a lifetime of responsible use.

It looks like a slight point but it is essentially rounded. I found it worked very well on our hard soil here in Tucson.

It is not a rounded tip. The sides are flat with a tip at the edge, if that makes sense!

Yes, the ends of the board are slightly tapered. The corners are basically squared off with slight rounding.

They have a point, but not a really sharp point. They do not appear to me to be scalloped.

Mine were the same at each end. They were not slanted. They were also wide in diameter. They make great straws for thick malts & shakes.

The edges are really blunt and pretty thick. The tip is fairly pointed but still has less of a point than a pair of scissors
