Would these be good for scratchboard art? Are the edges sharp at all?

Mine were of very mixed quality. Some very sharp, some dull. Most have burrs on them that make them a poor choice for sculping which, ironicly, the are sold for. A little file work would fix them up. I think they would work 'out of the box' better for scratchboard than sculpting. As i recall they were not expensive.

I should think that this set (which I have) might well be useful -ESPECIALLY IF YOU PUT A FILE TO THE "BLADES" yourself. The edges of my set vary in "bite"! Not many really sharp. I strongly recommend the file.Your action and findings would be most interesting and a comment would be VERY welcome. Wm Walter.

Mine are not sharp. My husband is a classically trained french chef and loves these sheets. He said you can use a piece of steel wool or sand paper to gently sand then down. It they are too sharp return for different ones.

Not sharp. There is a very small bevel along all edges, approx 1/16th of an inch wide. Just enough to not have a knife edge to the board.

The round base is formed hollow. There would be no sharp edges to scratch wood. If you're application does not include kids I think really well. Our girls can scratch tile so I used a mat.

Yes. I bought them for my brother Ken at Gracewooddesign, so I have not feedback on quality. I sell smaller natural bristle stencil brushes through MB Historic Decor.

No, I have tried and find them way too loose. The edges are also sharp and over all they are a poor quality. I woud not recommend this brand. When I received them in the mail (I ordered 4) I had to throw 2 of them away they were so mangled.

They're very nice, although possibly not really worth the additional cost over a box of Ticonderoga #2s. But if you can afford a treat for yourself, you will enjoy them. They sharpen just fine with any "real" pencil sharpener, but I wouldn't use one of those little plastic school sharpeners. If you have a real pencil sharpener handy, I'd skip the long point sharpener and get the box of additional erasers instead.

I think they would work really well. They make really nice lines and go on very smoothly. The tips do get a little shredded on rougher fabrics.

Yes, but not as well as the Sharp glasses. These glasses seemed to produce a ghost image so I returned them and purchased the Sharp glasses. They may work for you as you may not be as picky as I am.

Not sharp at all. I don't see how a child could possibly get hurt with these. Have you looked at the silicone ones? I bought a set of each, these and the silicone ones.

Hi Bob, well the points are sharp, but i only use them for practice throwing, and yeah sides are sharp too, actually yeah they would be able to cut an apple... Hope this helps, but these knives are small, I mean I am not able to even put my full grip on the handle to try and cut anything with.

I went in and re-checked the edges on the bed and I would say that they are sharp. The edges are sanded. We have had this bed for sometime now and have not had any incidences regarding scratching etc.. We have a fleece blanket/bedspread on the bed and it hangs over the edges just at the top of the drawers. We have been very happy with this purchase. We love the antique blue color. The boxes are very heavy. We took all the pieces out of the box and then took them downstairs. You cannot beat the price and quality.

The corners are square (not rounded) but I wouldn't call them sharp. My two year old plays with his kitchen daily and we have never had any problems.

They are not round but not scratch you skin sharp. I have a almost 3 yr. old and 1 yr old and neither of them have been injured by them. I mean they are blocks so if they are thrown hard the cornes could do damage. But I would say they are the nicest blocks you could find. I was unsure of the price,but I am very pleased. Walmart sells a set of 16 blocks the brand is Garanimals and they are like $9 the have animals and colors and shapes on them,maybe try those first?? ot sure how old your kids are,but those blocks are also very nice and not sharp :)

I have only used them a few times, but so far no scratches. I have not really made anything that would warrant using a knife in them though. Things slide out fairly easily if you butter them before using them and eating something (Mini chicken pot pies) directly out of them with forks did not scratch them.

The cutouts are coated in a smooth white layer over the metal. I've never had any problem with scratching.

Not if you use a textured paper. I would not recommend smooth illustration board.
