If it's not sharp, it's just a pointy metal stick.

My sgian dubh cost about $110 Canadian. It isn't razor sharp by any means, but you can tell its intended to be sharp. It's made by Art Silver Pewter Ltd. I like it plenty.

Thanks PiobBear-
I split a gut laughing at that post! A good sig line, if you ask me!
I always keep my sgian pocaids(sp?) razor sharp-less likely to injure yourself that way.
BTW, I swear by the Lansky sharpening system.

Just throwing that out there for those that want a sharp blade without too much work. Even my brother mastered the Lansky system-he has 2 left hands!!

As mentioned above, I'd almost bet that the angled blade is for comfort, due to the hilt being carved on both sides. The only reason I can think of for being flat edged is so that someone doesn't sue them for cutting themselves trying to remove it from the sheath or something equally daft! I'd guess that the caution label is simply a carry-over from before they changed their "sharp" policy, & it simply saves changing the boxes.
