Is the tip very pointed, or is it sort of blunt? The pair I got looks funny at the tip and I can't figure out from the online photos whether it's ok.

They are not pointed, it's kind of rounded at the tips. I have been very satisfied with them. Use them for cutting herbs out of the growing containers, parchment, opening bags and cutting the backs out of chickens when I smoke them. I don't see a need for a sharp point for the kind of cutting I do.

I would describe it as sort of blunt. You could pierce something w/it if you wanted; but, not yourself by accident.

Yes. They're not pointed like sewing scissors, but they're not flat-tipped either. Ezlypist's description matches my experience, with two pairs, BTW.

The very tips of the two halves are a tiny bit rounded, rather than coming to a sharp point. Chances are yours are just the way they're supposed to be, but if you are in doubt, see if there are any sharp or abrupt edges (like something had been broken off), if there aren't then your scissors are just the way they should be.I will recommend that you wash these by hand rather than in a dishwasher though. I think the extreme heat of the drying cycle tends to make the rubber handles a bit brittle as time goes on. Other than that, these are a great addition to any kitchen.I hope that helps you.

They are not needle sharp but they are pointed. The very tip is somewhat blunt, maybe 1/8 inch across. But there are 4 sides tapered to that point. I have very hard, rock-filled soil and there was no problem driving them into the ground.

No, it does not have a black tip. Tip is yellow. It's not smooth. I wouldn't call it jagged (it's not dangerous), but it is rough to the touch, not smooth. Sounds just like ours. Not a dud.

Tip is a soft rubber like substance. About the diameter of a #2 pencil, maybe a little smaller.

Mine was pretty sharp. Definitely pointy, but don't go swinging it at hard things, the handle will most likely break as it is made of 2 pieces that aren't very well welded together

Mine is pointed, just as it appears in the picture. Very solid, have not actually put it to the "test", but I am satisfied with it. I would contact the manufacturer, sounds like a defect to me.

It is a sharp tip. We have been very satisfied with the knives. Feel like the tip is sharp enough.

I am not an expert on various substances so I am making an educated guess. The tips are definitely NOT hard plastic. They seem to be more of a very, very firm (hard-like) rubber material. I hope this helps.

Yes, mine look exactly like this...longer than the other arrows I have, but on securely and the tips are very sharp.

Nope! It's like a felt-tip marker. I keep it in my pocket, my purse, wherever; haven't had any problems!

Hi Amber!Our thin-tipped pens have been excellent sellers. Some sellers offer fine-tipped pens, which these are not, though the diameter of these is smaller than that of a standard stylus pen (6mm vs 10mm of a regular tip). If there's anything else, just let me know. I can be contacted directly via this link:http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/contact-seller/contact-seller.html/ref=aag_m_fi?ie=UTF8&asin;=&isCBA;=&isPopup;=&marketplaceID;=ATVPDKIKX0DER&orderID;=&sellerID;=AP0GL3AYI3XW1Kindly,Jessie / The Friendly Swede Hi Amber!Our thin-tipped pens have been excellent sellers.

Yes, the tip is very hot and is designed in an odd way. It should be longer so you can hold it, but also it should be a COOL tip not a hot one. I wish I wouldn't have bought this product. It was bigger in dimension than I originally thought -- which is my own fault -- but I'm not in love with the thing. I burned my forehead a good one with it! Arrgh.

Been sketching with Flair tips since 1971. Then they had a small white point guard at the writing tip, but the tipstill got wider after usage and pressure. The ones I use today don't have that point guard and seem to be harder and keep a point longer but still get wider and softer after usage and pressure. My first time hearing "Hardhead"associated with Flair pens. Sounds like a selling tag. Just my opinion. Black is the only color I've ever used, aboutone a month.

the tip is rounded plastic. the rest is foam. it gives easy and did not hurt when hit with them

On some at the tip of the handle, there is some roughness. At the end where the spatula part is, there are corners. But I wouldn't necessarily say that they are sharp. Hope this helps.

the one i got is pointed. i think you can it get either way though. its your choice when you order. its a nice knife. comes razor sharp and very light do to the titanium blade.

The tips look nothing like that. From the two times that I've ordered, the tips are sharp and the build quality is not that great. The arrows are not assembled correctly so they are pretty much not usable.
