This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

This is peak drama kid. Why would it have to be sharp?
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.
And before you ask, I'm in medieval reenactment. Discussions like this pop up a lot
