Can someone tell me how sharp they are? My toy poodle has an incredibly thick coat and needs sharp blades.

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 scissors can be resharpened fairly easily and adjusting the tension can help with thicker fur. The company also stands behind the product and replaces scissors if they are dull. A how to demo video is available on our website.

They are fairly sharp. I find that I have to sharpen my paring knives rather frequently, but I abuse the heck out of them.

Yes, they are sharp. Although, they are more for practice. They are quite small. I gave them to my older son and want to get myself some longer ones.

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.

Not easy go split. They do average in size --I'd say from 3-5 inches long (few times 6+), but about 1-2 inches wide. They are hard, definitely couldn't be cut w/standard knife or scissors --- perhaps with a heavy duty power tool type of scissor or saw, but I wouldn't recommend it. My dog is less than 40lbs -- these are the ones he had at the rescue before we adopted him and I think they're perfect. He LOVES them and they keep him busy for up to 20 mins at a time. He only gets maybe 2-3 per week.

they are pretty sharp...i did take a flap disk sander wheel on a grinder to mine just to knock the paint off...i was waiting for the oil to drain anyway ...these blades are much thicker and i'm sure they will last 2x as long as the factory blades

They are about 1/2 inch in diameter and are scored in half. They are not soft like a pupperoni but not real hard either. I have a miniature poodle and she manages a whole one quite easily. She is almost 13 years old. I decided rather than mess with cutting them in half, I give her one whole one on even days only. I hope this is helpful.

Very sharp and stay sharp! Yes they can be sharpened using standard method for sharpening or take to a sharpener. How often will depend on usage. When I reviewed these knives they were rated very high. I hope this helps with your decision to buy.

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.

I have only used the Shark half blades so far, the half blades seem to be the way to go from safety to fit. I can't imagine that any other blade would be sharper, although they could last a little longer. At about a nickle per blade, you don't need them to last real long. I'm getting about 8 shaves per blade, but it depends on you're whiskers. You may get more or a couple less.

We have a old Poodle and a young MultiPoo. Our multipoo has a very thick coat. Her hair was about 21/2" or 3". I just used the blades which came with Andis and used the various attachments to cut her coat. Starting with the 9 and working my way down. I was very impressed how easily I was able to cut our multipoo. The Andis never heated up or was to warm to cut. I did stop part way through and oiled the blades. No our dogs would not win at the dog show after my cutting them. I ended up with a few gouges and I think that was caused by her moving and my learn curve. Which is why I started cutting with the highest number and worked my way down. Yes, I would recommend this shaver to anyone wanting save dollars as we are currently paying about $45.00 per dog. So I feel the next hair cut I am making money

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.

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.

I have a 7FC Ceramic Edge that I use on my big guy. He is part Chow, Lab, St. Bernard. It goes thru his thick coat like a hot knife thru butter!

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.
