Are the tines (points of the forks) sharp?

They are sharp enough to penetrate food, but not sharp enough to cut someone eating with them.

Yes, sharp enough to manage whatever food you are eating, but not dangerously sharp, won't cause you any damage while eating... We are so very happy with this set!

Not anymore than any other forks I have used. On another note I am noticing minor pitting spots on the butter knives.

No bending as the metal is pretty thick. I wouldn't consider the forks sharp, but they do everything they need to do. Have been using this set for a year now and it's very durable and well made. Best set I have ever owned.

They're not *rounded* but no, I wouldn't say they're sharp. We've had it for 2+ years and have never had a kid hurt themselves on it.

I would say the top edge could be but the bottom is edge is not flat. I have cut the back bone out of numerous chickens and a turkey. We cook allot of beer can chickens and these are still very sharp. I really like them. Hope this helps.

No, the edges of the holes are not sharp. The holes are really smooth and well-rounded. This pan is still in really good condition by the way. It's very durable. I still have it.

I don't find them to be pointy but rather are flattened/smooth on the ends (i.e. not sharp). I don't see this causing any damage to fabrics.

Yes they are. They are made of 440 stainless steel so they are brittle. But they are extremely sharp.

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

They are pretty sharp in my opinion. Using a 30 Lb bow accidentally shot a 0.5 inch particle board. It penetrated.Would not recommend these for little kids.

Alison...yes, they are. In fact I now use them instead of a steak knife. We are VERY satisfied with the set.

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

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 the same as 2 metal pipes meeting. It is rounded a little, not much. I wouldn't say sharp. Not sure how to describe the edges. I love this frame.

The forks stack very nicely and are not thick on the ends. I am very happy with them.

They are very smooth. However, they are light weight and a little smaller than a regular dinner fork. If you don't mind that, these are a great buy.

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.

The grates are sharp enough to grate garlic or ginger. They are not as pointed as some I've seen at pottery shops. The photo is exactly as they appear, same color, everything. My only objection was that it was on a card in a plastic sealed hang-up display. I took mine out so I could wrap them as gifts.Marie T.
