Are they dull or are they sharp enough to cut your hand when it leaves?

I've thrown them for a while now, and I've never been cut by them, but I would imagine they are sharp enough to cut your hand, but that would depend on how you throw them (I use the pinch grip, so there isn't really much of a risk of me cutting my hands).

The edges are dull with only the point being sharp (on throwing knives, the point is what matters), and in order to cut yourself you'd have to try pretty hard, I've dragged the point across my fingers to check for sharpness after a bad miss (make sure the tip didn't chip or anything) and it leaves no mark, but they do stick into wood and such very well.

Both it just depends how your release is. You should not be holding it for dear life when throwing by the blade. hands need to be relaxed. the full knife is about 5inchs, they arent very big or heavy

These blades are solid and I think it'll take months if not years for any dulling effect. By then, I'd buy I new one. Good luck, Tony.

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

I've had these kutters for just over 1 month and have essentially changed my entire landscaping by cutting down 1 limb at a time. I can kut about 1 inch diameter branch with little effort. My Kutters are still very sharp. I have in the past tried to sharpen knives, scissors, and other blades and find they have never been the same. If and when these Kutters become dull I will buy the blades. It would be worth it.

They are only about 5-1/2" maybe 6" overall the blade is about 3", dull (for throwing), points are needle sharp but they are also very light weight. Don't throw from more than 12 or 15'. If you hit the target sideways, they break between the blade and the handle. You can find much better quality at budk.

Sorry for the delayed answer, but no the edge are not sharp. It is quite comfortable to handle. Cheers!

I am not sure. I do know that they didn't seem very sharp and kind of gave me split ends where I cut.

No they are not sharp enough to do much good. I was sorry I had ordered the salad chopper.

No they are not sharp. I used these for a shot ski and no one has cut their lip.

These will cut right through standard nails. they will not cut hardened steel nails or screws. You can expect the blade to be dull after a dozen or so nails.

They are small and can fit in your pocket when working outdoors. They fit my hand well and seem to just work for many things that I do. The blade is short and I don't use it for things like cutting wrapping paper or fabric. I own 4 pairs and keep them all over the house!

I recently got a pack of these to try. They are EXTREMELY sharp. They are so sharp, in fact, that you won't even feel it when they cut you. (weepers, nothing bad) That lasts for about 3 shaves. After that the shaves are close, comfortable and nick free. I got 45 three pass shaves out of my last blade. I fell a little tugging on 46 so I changed the blade. I probably could have done 50 if I pushed it.

They cut extremely well and do not become dull as soon as other blades. Like other blades, you must keep them out of the dirt.

The ones I got were sharp. Actually used last 1/2 of season without having to sharpen. They appear to hold the edge pretty good.

They get gradually duller. Depends on how long you can tolerate to take to shave (and touch up with a blade) before replacing. I was on the same blades for 5 years or so and realized how bad they were when I forgot it on a trip to France and bought a new one there. You can supposedly also sharpen them a bit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSBX81U1otM

They are not that sharp, about as sharp as a mid-grade pair of scissors. If the tufts of fur are too thick they cannot cut through - you have to work with very small tufts of fur per snip.

the tips are sharp, you might be able to do damage with the tips but the blades are completly dull
