How sharp is it? Very, or just sharp. Also can it cut watermellons?

Sharp. You have to work to make it very sharp. Watermelons? No prob. Lemons and oranges tossed in the air? Yes depending on your skill.

I was very happy with this blade mine was very sharp maybe not razor sharp but I had no problem cutting through anything I tried including watermelon but like any blade the more you cut the more you lose your edge

I have done tameshi giri with it... Cut lots of bamboo, thick plastic bottles and plastic gallons... With normal care its still very sharp... You get what you pay for... Its an ok sword.

Its very sharp indeed, you can shave with this blade. And its sharp enough to go through a wooden fence. But it wont destroy the fence it just cuts into its grooves with disturbing the rest of the wood. Yes it can go through a watermelon.

the sword is sharp and can cut watermelon but it bends easily definitely a wall hanger I would recommend the wind dragon it is in the same price range and is a lot better and sharper

I don't use it much at all anymore. Got it out the other day and replaced it with my Mac santoku which I love. It does slice well, but I'm not really pleased with it. I don't know if it would work on harder veggies, I also use a Forschner 8" chef's knife for harder things, seems more sturdy.

Mine was pretty sharp. Definitely pointy, but don't go swinging it at hard things, the handle will most likely break as it is made of 2 pieces that aren't very well welded together

I've used it to slice through a 3/4 inch pork chop like a hot knife through butter. It is a sharp knife.. Be careful, my finger can back me up on this one.

Enough for cutting fruit, dry salami, some cheese, cardboard & envelopes...just as you long as you don't put lateral pressure. Not very easy to sharpen but you can't expect exacto degree of a blade sharpness either. Classy look but more for fun than heavy/daily use...think key-chain.Not in the same price point but consider Spyderco Manbug if you 'cut stuff' often.

The knife pretty good sharp. I do like and I use for cutting fruit at work. For me is a good knife.

This is my 2nd one. The first one lasted for years. The only reason I replaced it was because the plastic cracked on the hinge. The blades were still ok. I mainly use it for Cabbage for slaw. It also does great with onions and peppers.

It is sharp, I would not recommend you to let little kids to use it.It can cut the fingers off.Do not allow kid to use it.

I think it would work wonderfully. I have used mine on watermelon instead of using a knife to remove the rind. I am going to process a pumpkin today and can it in pint jars. I plan on using the peeler to remove the pumpkin rind. Love this peeler.

IIRC, out of the box the blade was good and sharp. If you sharpen your own, you'll *love* the way this thing takes an edge. My Zetsurin is just about the sharpest thing I own. After a bit of work ;)

Ya as has been said it's not sharp but it's not dull. You can stab a water bottle easily and cut a piece of paper. But trying to open a letter with it won't work. But you can, of course, always sharpen it more.

Hi Randy. To your question regarding strength. I am sure it will be strong enough for a watermelon. I really like mine but wish it was a little wider. So handy over the sink. Just slice whatever you are cutting and push it into the strainer. Already for washing after cutting. Love it.

It's not sharp but it's not super thick or dull at the edges. I'm not sure if you'd be able to cut a wedding cake perfectly with it. Maybe you can get it sharpened... I don't know. Awesome idea by the way

Are you kidding? The watermelon is doomed! This really is a great knife - maybe the reason it works so well is because of the holes.

I keep it very sharp and have had no problem cutting 2-3 inch branches with a solid baton. This knife can handle that type of "abuse" with no problem. I use it all the time to split firewood into kindling with a baton also.

No. It's not to sharp. I bought some and I'm a blade thrower to and it didn't cut my hand.=-) they're good.
