is it sharp from factory?

Honestly, it isn't sharp enough. Luckily there's a local business here that sharpen knives. Also, I suggest getting the two hand version. Ita kind of hard stopping the blade mid swing.

Sharpness wasn't bad. After using I put a real sharp edge with a ceramic sharpener.

It was not "razor" sharp from factory but was sharp enough to do the projects I had intended for it.(cuttingcattails in my pond)

No it has wedge shape but it would dent a cardboard box not cut it. I tried. Have to sharpen it

Yes, it is. It's a very nice knife, especially for the price. I went ahead and bought a second one.

Yes it is... it has a lifetime warranty on it. My first buck was this one and I still have it. It is over 30 years old and the blade is about half the size it was originally- holds a sharp edge forever

Less than average. Its not that sharp brand new. I had to sharpen it out of the box. I have purchased a about a dozen knives on amazon and the best brand of knife I found is Schrade. They're a little more expensive but durable and stay sharper then any other brand. I would say Smith & Wesson would be the only other blade I would recommend.

Yes, it is. But the serrated part never gets dull. Amazingly it holds good sharpness for a good 5 years.

I wouldn't consider mine sharp out-of-the-box at all - definitely a rough sharpened edge as it should, just waiting for the final job - it's a little inconvenient unless you're used to it, but sharpening these yourself is absolutely the preferred way - I think they make these with that in mind - those who want to use it will finish the job, but for the people who want to display it, it's still kind of safe to be aroundit's absolutely ready to use even out of the box, but you'll want to sharpen it if you're serious about it

No it isn't, while it is kind of sharp I had to send away to be sharpened and even then it wasn't as sharp as I would like. Hope this helps! :)

Yes it is very sharp, really, be careful !!!. You can as I did take it to a skilled sword sharpener, and if he's good he will make it razor sharp.

Not initially. It comes already sharpened and it is extremely sharp. I'm sure, after some use, it will require some sharpening.

Dear Andrew.It comes sharp right out of the box with an edge keen enough to take the hair off your forearm.It is however Chinese steel and will lose it sharpness after the first assassination.Which is ok since logically you should dispose of the evidence in the nearest deep-water lake any way.

On one side like most all traditional knives. I wouldn't call it terribly sharp out of the box however. A few passed on a sharpening steel had it plenty sharp though.

Mine works perfectly and I have no issues with sharpness. It's a very good walk-around lens when I don't want to carry a lot of gear.

Not sure. We keep it in a special case and it is beyond sharp. Be careful and use great care when using this knife. It is not a toy or a average knife. The. Est we have owned.

I Bought mines from a department store and yes they were sharp out of the box. Just remember to use the clipper oil when you're finished.

Yes it's real. This knife isn't made in the U.S.A. , so it is more economic. However, it is a decent knife made with decent materials. It comes pretty sharp and is a great value. You be hard pressed to find any more "bang-for-your-buck". IMO, even though it has no assisted opening the locking mechanism is better than the Kershaw Blur's liner lock. In a self defense situation you want to have a knife that doesn't fold back and cut you.

Yes it is. Excellent quality and extremely sharp straight out of the box. I truly can't complain - an excellent knife.

Yes it is. Thin and VERY sharp, I'd buy these knives in a second. They are soon to be just sold at professional restaurant supply houses. Get them while they are available to the general public. You won't regret it.
