Sharp enough to cut

This house isn't very child friendly.
Case in point a sword made in the famous sword making village of Spain that sits serenely atop a bookshelf. The sword, not the village.
My little group of ruffian renegades of age seven, eight and nine who're in the habit of picking up things about my house and asking me "what's this", picked up the sword.
Of course the sword in question isn't all that genteel and refused to be plucked by little hands of innocent deviance and nothing about it is very sword like, in that its edges are not sharp, but then again not very dull either except its tip which is indeed pointy or rather stabby and stays sheathed in thick leather.
I had to dissuade them from the art piece and they agreed..
Well, no little kid is touching this sword again.
