I will be drinking out of one of these, so my question is about the rim. How sharp is it? Too thin to be comfortable?

actually the rim is thin and sharp . Although I have never drank from it I imagine it would not be too Pleasant.,

I would think the rims are too thin and the containers too wide to be comfortable for drinking out of. The lids are not water-tight either. Perhaps a Kleen Kanteen would work better for you?

It is whatever it looks like in the picture...I am no knife expert, this knife is 1/4inch thick steel...not sure that a drop or clip point would make a difference...this is basically a pry bar with an edge...I sharpened mine on a Japanese water stone and it can filet a fish. I own 5 of their knives and they are all a real joy.

How will it be used? I got a number 2 and it was a bit small for outdoor use but it works great in the kitchen as a paring knife. I then got an "Outdoors" model, about 4" or so, & use it camping. It's a little too large for most kitchen chores. Just get one for starters. They are really sharp & inexpensive.

I'm not seeing that much of a curve. It's very comfortable. My wife and I sit on it every evening with a glass of wine.

I got this knife, primarily because Cooks Illustrated recommended it. And, to be honest, i haven't used it very much. This is not a fault with the knife, just haven't done that much with meat over the past few months. The knife seems comfortable to handle and sturdy. My opinion, based solely on instinct, is that i would prefer this straight bladed knife for boning. But then again, maybe i just need to be schooled in the appropriate technique for using a curved blade. Sorry i couldn't be more definitive.

Very well built I carry it regularly. It's pretty much a dagger. The tip shouldn't tip in normal use. I wouldn't use to pry on things tho.

You can just suck like normal straw. The spout has a soft rubber surround on it but I think it's just for comfort and ease of drinking.

Sorery, I don't know. I gave this as a gift to my son in law. I know it is really heavy when full of beer tho!

I actually bought it for my daughter and she loves it! She said that she didn't have to sip any harder. Hope that helps!

The blade is dull, but I think if you hit the neck of the bottle hard enough, it should break the glass with minimal shards of glass.

I've never noticed any sharp edges but now that you ask, I found that the inner edges around the handles are a little sharp. But you would really have to go out of your way to cut yourself on it. I've had this product for several months and have never cut myself on it. I would highly recommend this growler.

It is very dull, although it is quite heavy and can really break some things and hurt people, even if it's just carried carelessly. I used it for Halloween and almost konked a friend in the head just standing next to her. It definitely would have bruised. I have read that some people sharpen it - it is about as dull as a non-serrated butter knife.

Hi Justin, I had to return my shun reserve as you can see it chips easily if you're not careful. The high carbon steel makes it hard so that it's sharp enough to slice through anything. That also make it chip easily. The spine is 1/4 " and the blade is about1/8" recessing down to the sharpen part.

Have had mine for little over 6 weeks. No bruising here. I did drop it and have a lil paint come off but nothin too too damaging to the aesthetic. I dig it. Worth the ducats as a water bottle or the craftiest beer.

No problem with the glass. The edges are like any other type of furniture; that is, adults should have no issues but a child could meet head to edge if running and not paying attention. Sharp is a relative term but insofar as furniture, I'd say 'no' these are not particularly 'sharp' at all.

Ive been cutting sushi on this board with a japanese yanagi for over a year now, the knife is stupid sharp( i have a local asian resturant sharpen it for me every other time i use it) its never splintered or gotten pieces in anything ive cut on it.

i drink from it often and never noticed awkwardness. i turn the lid so it flips to the side, so gravity kind of takes care of it. plus, my finger can go right there, if needed. this way, smoothie doesn't drip on my nose, either :)
