Does the sawtooth on the rotary blade make crisp pointed zigzag edges as the pinking shears do or they appear more as scalloped edges?

They have a point, but not a really sharp point. They do not appear to me to be scalloped.

Hi, it seems very sharp and when I was researching it, I read a post by a quilter who uses it to cut many, many circles. I think Olfa guarantees the blade for a while.

The blade is double sided. The finer teeth work well for tenons and the course teeth I've used to cut down a small tree. The blade is pretty durable, but I wouldn't bother with sharpening since the blades are replaceable.

No. I used it as received. It seemed plenty sharp to me for a lawnmower blade.

For a simple response, the straight side is the cutting side. But in actuality, both side are wavy as the blade dips up and down because it is a mulching blade.

Yes, you are correct. There are tiny serrations on the edge of the blade and it was necessary to further sharpen the blades using a simple trick of cutting aluminum foil, overall I am quite satisfied with the blades especially at the price I purchased.

I have no idea. Only certain letters such as a N , M and W have pointed transitions that bend and are difficult to control a clean cut.

One side of the blade is smooth and the other is serrated. The serrated side cuts through roots easily when repotting pot bound plants and while digging in soil for planting. It also is a great tool for weeding. I love mine and wouldn't be without one after purchasing my first one a couple years ago. Carol

Apparently the blades are of a slightly different formulation of metal in order to better maintain a quality cutting edge. The blades are surprisingly sharp for standard SS place settings. We love ours after about six months.

I did a quick touch up to mine and it seems if you follow the curves with your re sharpening it should stay its shape. Also remember they have a free sharpening service at Kershaw only paying for shipping there.

The shape of the blade is slightly different. The schf2 has a straighter top and less symmetrical tip.

Look at an enlarged view of the combo tanto blade, the portion of the blade right above the hilt is serrated(saw like). The plain blade is "smooth" from the tip to the hilt.

the edge of the razor where it looks like little waves is a closed comb. If it looks like it has actual open space instead of just waves it is an open comb.....it almost looks like a rake to me. Go on youtube to geofatboy, he does all kinds of razor reviews....just filter out his advertisements for his site....what i have read the open comb is a more aggressive razor, but i have no real world experience with one to back it up

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.

the cutting edges of the tool are beveled both sides but i get a near flush cut with the whole cutter as opposed to trying to nibble the same cut with another tool.

The very tips of the two halves are a tiny bit rounded, rather than coming to a sharp point. Chances are yours are just the way they're supposed to be, but if you are in doubt, see if there are any sharp or abrupt edges (like something had been broken off), if there aren't then your scissors are just the way they should be.I will recommend that you wash these by hand rather than in a dishwasher though. I think the extreme heat of the drying cycle tends to make the rubber handles a bit brittle as time goes on. Other than that, these are a great addition to any kitchen.I hope that helps you.

The tip is pointed. The serration seems to "soften" the look somewhat, but they are still pointed rather than rounded.
