is the point and edge really sharp

It is sharp enough for its intended use. It can be easily sharpened to a near razer edge but it is really not needed. The weight, girth, and the edge are enough to cut through most anything.

Yes, with a few other minor appearance changes. The sharp edges may be part of that.

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.

Not sure which 'sharp edges' you're referring to, so I suppose it has been fixed as I haven't come across any sharp edges. :)

yes, pretty pretty sharp. But you can improve this with a 8000 or 6000 grit stone significantly. It is by far the most sharpest knife I´ve ever seen.

The blade itself isn't razor-sharp, you could grip it tight and not cut your hand. But it could be sharpened. The tip, however, is very sharp.

It is sharp when it arrives and can be used immediately. You will not have to sharpen it for quite some time.

On one side like most all traditional knives. I wouldn't call it terribly sharp out of the box however. A few passed on a sharpening steel had it plenty sharp though.

I have found it to be quite sharp. It got good reviews for sharpness in the photo magazines. I love it.

The blade is real steel. I was impressed for the money. The edge is not sharpened and can not cut, at least on mine. It could be sharpened. The point is sharp however and could use dulling if you are giving this to an older kid. mine was a gift

The point is just that, it's a point. It's not knife sharp by any means but when used as a weapon it's designed to cause deep blunt trauma not cuts. It's heavier and larger than a normal pen.

Yes they are. They do not need to be razor-sharp at the edges because the sharpness of the point will do the job. The only frustrating part is throwing form and technique. Do not Be discouraged if your knives bounce off a lot, it's not the knives, it's just you. I hope this helps :)

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

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.

The points seem pretty sharp--not dangerously so, but not like the rounded sharpeners either. I'm a HS teacher, with 125 students, and this sharpener gets lots of use throughout the day. My students say it's "the best sharpener in the school." I have so much "street cred" now. :-)

The one I received & have used a lot does not have sharp edges at all. In my case it is just what I wanted & would highly recommend it.
