Yes just like straight razors from the factory. The should cut, but there again how well.

While I spent a few years as a meat cutter I've never used anything like that set but I would presume that a good sharpening would be in order. But there again if they don't know the difference then you can impress them once you do sharpen them!

Notice that I said 'sharpen' them not hone them. I hone razors but I sharpen knives/totally different worlds
