They need to be sharpened...though auto turn would have been brilliant and nicer. I enjoy them using them anyway.

You cant sharpen these knives, Use them as directed. Don't use counter tops or other hard surfaces to cut, use a cutting board, wood or plastic, this will keep the edge longer. take care of them and they will last for a long time.. NO WAY TO SHARPEN BY THE OWNER

On some at the tip of the handle, there is some roughness. At the end where the spatula part is, there are corners. But I wouldn't necessarily say that they are sharp. Hope this helps.

I left mine the way they came and they cut cleanly. When I sharpen I'll put a finer edge in place, but I suspect it will just need more frequent sharpening and not do a better job.

No. They have the correct "edge" on them, but they are painted and you will need to sharpen them yourself.

Since I don't have this problem, I would suggest that you be very careful. The points are sharp and should be used with caution.

I actually had the same problems and I used them on myself. I made the huge mistake of "zero gapping" the blades I think straight out of the box they are crisp enough. And the problem with this is since the screws are so small they adjusted their self during cutting and often times I would leave scratches and marks. To combat this problem I ordered the t-wide blade for it for the blade adjustment screws are a little bit larger and the blades stay in line and finally I just left at factory without zeroing the blade . I did this and I haven't cut my self since I hope this helps

You might need to do more sharpening . The point is actually pretty good . I wanted my blade quite a bit sharper so I spent some time putting a better edge on it . I've been very pleased with them . Very good weight and ballance . Hope this helps.

Not "sharp" edges, but you do have to press them a little firmly to operate. I like that, so you aren't accidentally turning on/off during use. Maybe it's worth a trip to a sporting goods store for you to test out before you buy?

one more thing...you can clean these rapidly with rubbing alcohol and i use the fiskars scissors sharpener to keep them sharp, so mine are never "crappy" after I use them. hope all this helps.

Yes, very sharp. I really like them a lot. Be sure to keep away from children.

My experience with the new knives is that they are sharpened in a production environment that doesn't allow the fine honing that's required for a truly sharp knife. I would put a finish hone on the knife right out of the box.

We enjoy the clippers but have not used them enough to have to have the blades sharpened yet. I can tell you experience with knives as well as commercial paper cutters that any blade will wear down when sharpened...At some point they will have to be replaced. Make sure that you use the oil when you use the clippers as this will help them stay sharper longer.Take care,Greg

You may want to check out YouTube for use demo. I received mine moments ago and they seem OK. It is important to not just pull up on area furthest from blade but also pivot the forward section on blade end downward, much as when turning a car key off or cranking the handle of a traditional kitchen opener . Don't just use finger tips but hold firmly between length of thumb and index finger. The idea is to evenly distribute the force thereby preventing holding at can grip slot.

I haven't had to change blades, but I think they are self aligning Do a search and you might find a video showing the procedure.
