Does the knife have a smooth edge or a cutting edge?

It has smooth edge on one side and half cutting/half smooth on the other side.

It's "factory sharp", I believe. The 'sides' are not sharpened, they're thick and flat. The tip, however, is pointy enough to be sharp. There still really isn't an 'edge' to the sword, but you can hurt someone with the tip, if that's what you were asking. Otherwise, no edge.

It has a serrated edge and I love this flatware. I bought it because I used it at a friends home. I found it substantial and will stand the test of time.

The one I ordered was a plain edge.I use it everyday and it has been easy to keep sharp.

It has a shallow radiused hollow grind with a secondary edge grind. In my opinion this allows the knife to be robust enough for chopping yet have a thin enough edge with for slicing.

The blades themselves are straight. The cutting end has curved outer blades to give it a nose shape presumeably so it get into tight spaces but the blades themselves are straight. Hope that helps

The top side (cutting surface) is flat BUT it has the slightest "lip" running around the edge. The surface is textured. The bottom side has little round feet.

There is distal taper on the blade but it is more pronounced on the bottom (edge side) then on the top. This allows the blade to maintain its rigidity to the tip.

Sharp edge. Not like a knife though. I have used this tool a lot and really like it.

Haven personally use the knives to cut, but they are not the usual jagged knives type...from the feel of it...it look pretty sharp! (almost cut my fingers while admiring it), hope this helps!

The blade is polished and shiny, almost like a mirror finish. The blade isn't sharp, but you can't tell that it isn't sharp just by looking at it. If you run your fingers along the blade edge, it cannot cut your skin.

The edge touches nothing. The magnets cling to the side of the knife. The edge is inside which is very safe for anybody reaching for it, or brushing by it. The magnets are nice and strong. We actually love the one we got. It was well worth the price.

Sorry, just saw this email. Hope it's not too late to help you. No, I don't believe the edge you speak of is sharpened. I gave the knife to my daughter to take to college with her, so I don't have it handy. Will it take an edge? I don't know, I suppose it's possible. That doesn't help, I know, but since I don't have it with me I don't want to say anything misleading.

In my opinion, the edges are smooth, not sharp. I think it was beautifully constructed. Bought this for three other people for gifts and they have all been very pleased! Good luck!

It is a sharp tip. We have been very satisfied with the knives. Feel like the tip is sharp enough.

Hi. Bothe sides of the blade are hollow grind sharpened. If you are looking for this type of cutting instrument I believe you will be pleased.

The two paring knives are straight edge, two large knives are straight edge, and one big knife is serrated. I really like this set of knives, they cut well and are easy to use. Were heavier than I expected, and have not had any trouble with rusting that some people talked about in the reviews. Great set for the price.
