that say "Warning, extremely sharp, please be careful".
They're all BS, except for the one that came with my TRM Neutron 2!
I'm actually afraid of the edge; it's literally ridiculous!
I now know the real definition of "hair popping sharp", "laser sharp" and "scalpel sharp"
I'm thinking of sending it back to TRM and asking them for a less sharp one. 🤣
Everything about it is just perfect.

I generally find that if a knife comes with a "be careful, it's sharp!" warning, it usually doesn't deserve it.
I also don't know what a sharpness level is that I would be particularly afraid of.

This needs a BESS test or something.
 
I’ve owned an Atom and a Neutron 2 and they are some of the best factory edges you will find! Amazing build quality all-around, in fact. I remember showing my dad, and he asked me why all companies can’t put an edge like that on a knife lol

I didn’t have an answer, especially since it was sitting next to a knife (brand) I like more, that was also a butter knife in comparison to the TRM

I know a lot of folks are into the thin, slicey thing now, but I’m not, which is why I sold mine. I would love to see them build a 5-7oz knife with ~4” blade, it would be something
 
Mine should be delivered monday! I really want the ATOM, as I like bigger knives, but im still stoked to get the Neutron.
 
Heh dudes. We are all sharp knife nuts, but there are probably more knife owners than us who have never used, or seen, or even sharpened a truly sharp knife. Telling them to use a little bit of caution might prevent some knife makers a legal suit, which is why I think they put the caution note in the box with the knife.
 
I think sharpness warning labels are a good heads up. The problem as I see it is sellers and manufacturers using them as marketing hype. It's like crying wolf. After reading so many bogus sharpness warning labels people start to ignore them. I would not send a knife back to be dulled instead I would be glad it was properly sharpened. If you simply use the knife it shouldn't take long to get to the level of what is considered your standard working edge.
 
We all like to play with sharp things...
Not to be insensitive; but perhaps coin collecting would be a safer hobby for the O.P.
