Sharpened Clip On Presentation Knives

Typically I bring my clips to just shy of zero because I never liked having a sharp side on the top of the knife. If I wanted a double edged blade I would make a dagger. My question is should my clips be sharp on my presentation set. Thanks for the information in advance.

I don't know what the judges will say, but I did bring the clip on mine to zero.

I feel like that is the safe choice, some might have issue with a unsharpened clip but no one will ding you for having it sharp, so long as it is well done even and centered.

Jared,

Nothing in the rules require them to be sharp or not. I took mine thin, but not sharp. Just make sure they are even.
