      Doesn’t necessarily need to be sharp. Try hard enough and you can stab someone to death with a butter knife…or a spork

        If you’re making/sharpening a spear, you actually only want to get it sharp as a butterknife. Any sharper and it has a good chance of cutting into bone and getting stuck.
