Fair. Has a nice uniform grind. I have a stropp for a 1 x 30 grinder and that made it really good. My problem with it is the difficulty getting it out of the sheath with one hand. If that is not a criteria, then its a good buy.

its sharp, but not shave hair off your arm sharp&lt; but with 2 or 3 strokes on a rock an mine was razor sharp, the carbon blade is easy to sharpen.

When i got mine it was really sharp. but after a few months of use i sharpened it with a sharpener i had around the house. you may need a better sharpener.

Yes, it is agreat knife, I have 2 of them, they are very sharp and I only have them sharpened professionally. Cooks Magazine reviewed a lot of knoves and this was #1, and the cheapest!!!

Pretty new piece of equipment for me. Have not had to sharpen the blade. I did use a little vegetable oil on the blade and it worked a bit smoother.

Yes, I was able to chop small limbs and branches with the "out of the box" edge. It's not razor sharp, but its certainly good enough to get started.

Trigger feels good. Not super light but it is crisp. I picked it up out of the box and it's been dead on every shot.

It is pretty sharp out of the box, it will slice a piece of paper smoothly.

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.

Just got mine today (Sept. 29th, 2014) and it is full flat ground CPM S30V. It's extremely sharp right out of the box!

No, not at all, I use it in my Restaurant, and is still very sharp, still working very good after about 8 months now!

It's fairly sharp out of the box, but I'd recommend sharpening it yourself. The pivot on mine is a rivet not a screw. Its firm enough not to open in my pocket.

It is very sharp and if you are not careful you will have to do some shaping.The adjustable head and the multi setting should make it easy.Go slow and steady.

It's definitely not as sharp as during the day, the outlines feel a little blurry, but not too bad. Can still see everything just fine. My old video monitor was a tad sharper, but had MUCH smaller screen, and doesn't go anywhere near as far, range-wise.

It was REAL close. That is to say, better out of the box than most, and very usable. I did flatten it a bit out pickyness.

No. It's not to sharp. I bought some and I'm a blade thrower to and it didn't cut my hand.=-) they're good.
