It was very sharp, no real nicks or burr's. I always strop my knives a day or so after using them so I never worry about them being dull..

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

I've had it for a month today, the 11th. It came to me out of the box, Sharp as a razor. It is used daily for random little things. As of today it is still sharp enough to take the hair off my arm. I am not too sure as to how well it Sharpens, but it stays pretty sharp for a long time. If you want a knife that wont cost you a fortune, then go with this one. You will not be let down by it.

It doesn't look like it. Don't get me wrong is sharp as heck. I love mine especially for the price. I expected a cheap crappy sword i could use like a machete, but it actually feels really sturdy. And for the price i can actually use it and not worry about messing it up because i can just buy another one of i do. And do far it's been tough. My son and i have taken it out and cut through all kinds of stuff. 3 or 4 milk jugs full of water etc. It feels like it could take off a small appendage or at least do a lot of damage trying.

Fairly sharp, I would say. Sometimes it takes some effort to cut through the thick grass/roots but, overall, I like it a lot.

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.

It is sharp when it arrives and can be used immediately. You will not have to sharpen it for quite some time.

Pretty new piece of equipment for me. Have not had to sharpen the blade. I did use a little vegetable oil on the blade and it worked a bit smoother.

I agree with the 35 F1.4 response. It is a very sharp lens and with the sale, it's priced great. WELL worth the $.

I bought this for a family sibling but as far as I know the blade doesn't dull very quickly. Don't know about the sharpening as they are pretty cheap I would just buy a new one.

Its is a bit bulky but you can handle it. It has a very good built and the focus ring is very very smooth. Take in consideration that it does´t have Image Stabilization so you will not be able to shake it too much. It´s very sharp and the bokeh is beautiful. Totally recommended.

Comes with a good useable edge right out of the box. I wouldn't say razer sharp but will slice paper easily.

Unknown. I purchased my Sharp over 10 years ago and it's still going strong. Recently I purchased the same model from Amazon in case mine finally gives up the ghost. I've been very satisfied with older model. Sorry I couldn't help with info on later models.

It was REAL close. That is to say, better out of the box than most, and very usable. I did flatten it a bit out pickyness.
