Kevin,
The way I think about it is, is it a deal killer? If I get a great opportunity to get a Virgil England piece, the fact that it isn't sharp wouldn't stop me. Obviously, all things being equal, I'd rather have a knife be sharp. This is not even worth mentioning.
To be meaningful, this question should be phrased differently, as in, what would you be willing to sacrifice in order to get sharpness? Is sharpness more important than blade materials? Than the maker's name? Than handle & fittings materials? Than the design? Etc, etc.

Good points.
Don't know if it would be a deal breaker for me or not. Probably depend on the knife and situation.
Would be interesting to hear what collectors would sacrifice for sharpness.
