Very sharp...I wish it would have come with a protective sheath of some kind.

It is not a machete, in that if you hit light, unsupported brush, it will push the brush back instead of cutting like a fast moving machete will. But if you a taking small-medium limbs off of a tree, and you hit it in the curve of the blade, it de-limbs things nicely.

I use an accu-sharp knife and tool sharpener. It does a fantastic job on this particular blade. When you see one; the way it is used is pretty self-explanatory.

My wife has not had a problem with the sharpness of the blade. She uses the pruner a lot, though always wipes them down and uses Felco spray oil on them after every use.

Used properly you will get the job done... the cutter has a sweet spot so don't force the cut! I lift and steer the tool smooth and easily.

It is sharp, But I wouldn't use it to cut anything. its just basically a decoration.

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.

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.

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.

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 ;)

Yes it is very sharp, really, be careful !!!. You can as I did take it to a skilled sword sharpener, and if he's good he will make it razor sharp.

It is sturdy and sharp enough if used as a weapon, it could do some serious damage. However, for cosplay purposes, the blade is completely dull, and not sharpened. It's metal, can still cut if you intend to. The tip is really sharp though. If you poke a bedsheet with it, it will probably rip it.

I've used it to slice through a 3/4 inch pork chop like a hot knife through butter. It is a sharp knife.. Be careful, my finger can back me up on this one.

mine is pretty tough; the very tip snapped off before i even got it, but that's just going to happen with that kind of point. it really is a budget Gladius though, not a Machete. it is not for chopping at all, it is a penetrator. The bulging to the sides at the end is actually somewhat exaggerated based on mine. I love it, but it is not a pioneer tool.

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.
