Ummm no it shouldn't be bokken are for practice..you could kill someone if you hit them in the head with it or cause them lots of pain by breaking their bones but it really won't cut maybe just a bit from the force of being whacked with it real hard.

It's a bokken, used for practice. No sharp edges, since it's effectively a hard rubber stick.

Absolutely not sharp, that doesn't mean it isn't dangerous and can't be used as a weapon. It is made of virtually indestructible polypropylene and is built for practice. You can beat the snot out of someone but it will not cut anything.

To me, it seems to be toward light action. Plenty of feel. Any answer is subjective though

You'll probably want to sharpen it. For reference, 120 grit paper will get a better edge than it comes with. But you could do some small brush slashing if you had to. Cold Steel machetes are not like their other knifes. They are lesser quality and do not come with a similar finish. Also, I'd buy the two handed Latin. It is more versatile and has better balance.

No its not sharp. It's for coffee. Try a mellonballer for halved apples or a apple corer for whole apples.

I find it ideal for walking around, it's not too heavy but it has a good range for framing pictures the way I want with out having to move back and forth. The pictures are clear as a bell and very, very sharp. I think you'll be happy with it.

YES it is a good knife for anyone that needs it. PS: Dull knife is dangerous!

It comes pretty sharp. Its not razor sharp, but it'll definitely cut through a good amount of materials.

It's good for any age range. It's lighter and not musky so it will probably appeal more to younger men.

Yes......you can get it sharper if you know what you're doing, but it is sharp out of the box...

It's a good knife. Pioneer woman uses it on her foodnetwork show. Glad to help.

yes, pretty pretty sharp. But you can improve this with a 8000 or 6000 grit stone significantly. It is by far the most sharpest knife I´ve ever seen.

Yes it is good so far. I initially went for the look of it, since I wanted a tanto style blade. The last Tech I had, the locking mechanism began to fail much earlier than I would have liked. I have not experienced a similar problem yet.

I don't think it's 'too modern." It's really sharp, and well put together. It is TALL, so check measurements.

The one I bought was very sharp , my husband practiced by cutting various items ;-) but I read on the manufacturer and they do sometimes release lemons, beautiful sword 5 star rating from me...

My husband uses this knife, said he does a few strokes on his sharpening stone before he uses it. He does that with any of his good knives, tho, since he's a "sharp knife fanatic." It's a good knife, he's been happy with it. And we've given this as a gift to our son, who has been very happy with it.

I can only speak for Sting, which appears in both LOTR and The Hobbit movies. It has excellent craftsmanship and is surprisingly sharp. I have it hanging on display over my bar near a bobble-head Gollum. I'm very pleased with my purchase.
