See if itll shave the hair off your arm.

You'll also notice they are sharp just by handling them. It'll often slice through a thin layer of skin that you won't even notice..until later.

i read some chuck adams and i remember him saying he saw if it started to cut into his fingernail with little pressure. another one was that he took a rubberband pulled it tight and moved the razor past it- if the band broke it was sharp

I stretch a rubber band and and slide it passed it should cut it not slide it out of the way. the band is like connective tissue and veins. you want it to cut not slide past

It should catch on your thumb nail. Using little or no pressure, try and slide it side to side... if it catches.. it should be sharp enough... if it slides... no way I'm shooting it. Problem with undertakers is that there isn't really a good way to touch up those blades... most Rockets I've messed with have been lacking in the sharp department... and the Undertakers I checked out last week were woefully dull.

Toss it in the air and catch it in your mouth like popcorn.

Ifyou have to make a trip to the ER, it's sharp enough.
