I've seen them at various stores and they're all dull as a spoon. I really don't have anything heavy duty enough to sharpen them with. What gives?

I don't know when I buy them they are relatively sharp but I always put a better edge on them.

Get a standard single cut metal file for $10 and put a nice edge on them in 20 min or so.

Same reason all hand tools come dull now, whatever it is.

About 15 years ago one of our employees cut his finger while unpacking a new one from the "protective" cardboard wrapping.

Stitches were required - was a "recordable" worker comp injury.

I'm sure other, similar events occurred and have resulted in the dull versions now being shipped.
