They are...they are so sharp, they'll cut through just about anything....assuming you don't have crazy thick toe nails.

I assumed they were to be used as-is. Most of us would not own the equipment to sharpen, nor know how to do it. there is a coating (paint) on the blade, and my impression was that they did not appear very sharp out of the box.

Yes, they are. Be careful though - they are so sharp it's easy to cut yourself.

Yes. These are terrific knives. I bought a second set, I was so pleased with the first set. They are sharp, and remain sharp, so be careful. No problem in the dishwasher. They come out clean and fine.

Yes. Well cut and tapered, they fly well. I use them with a longbow and a recurve. I like the points as well, although they could be a bit sharper for my taste. I honed the edges a bit extra and they are perfect now, or at least to my liking!

They are sharp - they are not rounded. But I should add - I got them for my daughter at 15/16 months. She's been playing with them without issue. They aren't needle point sharp. I don't see them 'stabbing' her or giving her splinters. They just aren't rounded.

They are not. they look sharp but are in fact quite dull. they are pointed but not so much thaat you're going to hurt yourself unless you're super clumsy.

Yes they can be sharpened in fact I run a few swipes on my fine steel between uses to keep a keen edge and haven't needed to really sharpen them yet.

No Melanie. They are sharp only on one side, and they are not serrated - at least the set I purchased. Non serrated does a better job of slicing cleanly on some meats. They also come in handy as an extra paring knife. They are aluminum and are best washed by hand as dishwasher detergent will make the handles turn a darker color and not be as smooth. Having said all that - - - I absolutely LOVE these knives. Excellent value.

No It is not. Out of the box they were not particularly sharp, but after a quick sharpening session they are just fine. You can't easily sharpen serrated knives.

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.

No but they are far more functional than any other I have ever had. They seem sharp and more than adequate for cutting meats. I love this flatware and the great knives were an added bonus. Honestly yo can't go wrong with this set, top of the line flatware at a great price.
