This model is definitely blunt but it is pretty point at the tip. Most to all items such as this one are sold non-sharpened due to precautionary reasons.

My Good Friend....It dosent matter if, or how sharp it is really. Its 68in long...for you to hold it and swing it like a normal man/person...you would need to be at least 11-15 feet tall. I cant even take it out of the scabbord just holding it...you have to lay it down and pull it out. Its just for show really...trust me. However...to answer your question...its not dull...but not razor sharp. You dont really need this blade to be that sharp.

Its sharp but not razor sharp. I would not buy for anyone who is young and might use it as a toy. If not careful can cause a deep cut. Pulse its long and if you point at someone and they walk into or you accidentally pretend to stab someone and they are in the swords range can cause MASSIVE INJURY. Buy for your personal collection just dont buy it as a toy or young person.

IIRC, out of the box the blade was good and sharp.If you sharpen your own, you'll *love* the way this thing takes an edge. My Zetsurin is just about the sharpest thing I own. After a bit of work ;)

I bought one of these 2 years ago and have never noticed any sharp edges. Just bought another one today, so we'll see how that one is on Wednesday.

The serrations aren't sharp but are tapered on both sides. This knife is made very well. I'm extremely happy with it and would buy it again.

I haven't used mine extensively. The blade is fairly thin, the handle is pretty rigid, the lock seems pretty secure. It would depend on what you mean by hard use. I sure wouldn't try prying or batoning with it. It sharpens well and holds an edge pretty well. It's great at slicing with it's full flat grind. I like it. There is now a very similar model just a little bigger with a thicker blade, I think it's called the Eland. You might want to investigate that before making up your mind. I think either would be a very good buy considering how little they cost.

It's very sharp at the point. It really depends on the 10 year old, though. My 10 year old is very responsible with tools that can hurt people so it hasn't been a problem. He showed it to a few friends and understands that it's for show, not for play.

It is sharp. I'm not an experienced cook so haven't had much experience with knives. I like this knife. It seems just sharp enough to me.

i did not find the edges sharp at the handle. it is easy to hold, and it is comfortable to carry in hand.

Its not sharpened to a fine point. It is "blunt". It is pointed enough to cause pain but not be looked a as a weapon.

It doesn't look like it. Don't get me wrong is sharp as heck. I love mine especially for the price. I expected a cheap crappy sword i could use like a machete, but it actually feels really sturdy. And for the price i can actually use it and not worry about messing it up because i can just buy another one of i do. And do far it's been tough. My son and i have taken it out and cut through all kinds of stuff. 3 or 4 milk jugs full of water etc. It feels like it could take off a small appendage or at least do a lot of damage trying.

Hi, it is sharp on one edge. I use it no so often but works very good any time I use it.

Fairly sharp, I would say. Sometimes it takes some effort to cut through the thick grass/roots but, overall, I like it a lot.

I have not attempted to sharpen it. I use it for cutting and scraping dough.

I've never seen any of the other ones to be able to compare. That said, these have no sharp edges. There is an angled cut out on every edge (it isn't quite rounded), and I've been extremely happy with them.

The blade is blunt. It works well for making my husband "ice cream" with crushed ice, coffee creamer, and frozen bananas - every night. The small jar is just the right size for 1 serving.
