Are they sharp? For example, sharp enough to cut an apple?

Hi Bob, well the points are sharp, but i only use them for practice throwing, and yeah sides are sharp too, actually yeah they would be able to cut an apple... Hope this helps, but these knives are small, I mean I am not able to even put my full grip on the handle to try and cut anything with.

I haven't tried, but they will stick into an apple should you throw them at one...and manage to hit it.

Apple, yes. Tomatoe, no. Not overly sharp like a kitchen knife, but sharp enough for its intended purpose.

Yes they are sharp enough to cut an apple. No apple in the house so I just tried it out on a banana.Tried to peal the skin and it worked.

Yes, but the apple won't see it coming and the knives will disappear into the night.

I Bought mines from a department store and yes they were sharp out of the box. Just remember to use the clipper oil when you're finished.

Yes, these knives cut meat very well. I have used them to slice steak and turkey.

No. They're garbage... Go spend 40 extra bucks and buy something nice. They are really really crappy. They're crazy sharp out of the package but they're really weak. Great decoration but good for nothing else.

No problems with sharpness of edges...I would definitely return them if someone would get cut!!!

Sharp enough for lawn mower use (high speed rotation) ... but they are not sharp like a knife.

Yes, as a matter of fact, this was the main reason for me to purchase this item. If you get the 3 lb bags of apples - they are small - like a tennis ball - they slice perfectly. Start it off without the gripper so you get a flat side of the apple, then put the gripper on and slice fast! They do slice thin, probably about the thickness of a greeting card. I pop them in the oven at about 190 degrees for about 45 minutes and they turn just a tad tan and get crisp. I don't season them at all though you can sprinkle some cinnamon if you want that flavor. They turn out great and you can eat a whole gallon ziploc bag of them without any guilt!

They are sharp enough to penetrate food, but not sharp enough to cut someone eating with them.

I don't believe so. They are meant for baking/cookie cutting and are not that sharp.

I would say yes, and I certainly do. No doubt sharp enough, as others have said. It is not as curved as many clippers, which is a downside for the fingers, but actually an advantage for toes, I find.

I haven't tried but assume they would. They wouldn't scratch, but they probably wouldn't cut it a smoothly as a regular knife. Most things come out a little jagged.

Mine worked very well they are sharper than expected. You just have to keep in mind that they are small, paper, stray beard hairs, gorilla tape. Cut them all pretty good for me.

Unsure if the same, but to the person who thought these weren't sharp, I have cut large suckers up to 1/2 in diameter with them, and am certain I could amputate my own finger in one simple motion with these. They are easy to use and make quick work of pruning.

They are...they are so sharp, they'll cut through just about anything....assuming you don't have crazy thick toe nails.

These are pretty pliable. I do not see why a sharp pair of scissors would not cut them down.

The gloves are relatively resistant to being cut but yes a sharp cutting instrument will cut them.

mine are still new and VERY sharp so yes, at this point very good for "lighter" pruning. Not yet sure how long they will keep their sharp edge...
