Do the blades have a sharp edge or are they blunt on both sides?

I used the knife with my cheese trays, they have a blunt edge, but work very well with a spread mix, or beer dip to put on crackers.

They do not have sharp edges---they are meant for spreading---not cutting :)

One sided. I suppose it could sharpen blades, but the wear of sharpening could destroy the "flat" surface needed

They are serrated, but high quality. I know many serrated knives do not have quality edges, and are expected to compensate for not being able to maintain sharpness by literally sawing through food products, but these are a more gradual serrated edge, and the arcs between the points are very sharp, so you get the best of both worlds.

The blades are 2 sided. One side is dark (it's pointed up toward the ceiling now and I can't give an accurate color description) and one is light (I would call it a light oak color)

There's only one cutting edge and yes it's beveled on both sides. This knife is a freaken razor. It will shave hair off your arm out of the box.

If you are wanting sharp blades, you are probably a more advanced skater, and will want a higher quality pair. I purchased these for a novice skater. Hope this helps.

Neither side is smooth. They are designed to have one cutting side and a gripping back side. The back side has a 4mm square raised grid pattern. The cutting surface is a very fine honeycomb texture. The material is polyethylene which is supposed to not dull knives. The thickness is close to 1/32" which is thick enough to feel sturdy and durable, but not so thick as to be inflexible. I've been using one mat for close to a year now, and while it has a visible area of heavy usage, it does not show knife tracks unless you look really close at it. It is also stain resistant for beets, turmeric, etc. I do clean it nearly every day with a brush and cleanser or Biogreen Clean which works well. I like these mats very much compared to others I've used in the past... I know, I really should get out a new mat, but I'm cheap and I like green... what can I say. lol.

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?

Sharpening one side gives it a finer edge. If the serrations came from both sides, you would have to remove more metal from both sides to give it the same sharp angle that you get with just one side being sharpened. It's also easier to maintain the edge, when you only have to sharpen one side.

Yes the blade is sharp on both sides.it does. Have a false edge on top.gen 2 airforce.survival is built tough.

yes, it is a straight blade on both sides and not serated, an easy sharpen on front and back of blade.

The blade is the same on both sides it is not ground like a steel blade on either side, hope this helps

Steel does not sharpen blades, but it makes it straight from both sides. This Henckels steel works very good.

They have a tapered grind edge, with a slight angle at the tip of the knife, I have these and have had no problems sharpening them, I love all my Chicago Cutlery. You cant go wrong for the money.

I have used mine both ways. They don't have a sharp cutting edge, but they did work for cutting as well.

Only one side is sharpened. The blade is made like a bayonet style knife, with the point being extremely sharp and the cutting edge like a razor.

Yes they are sharp. I have had mine since may with no issues, a matter a fact I just used them before responding to this. Great product
