I been to a number of cock fights an can tell you the 2" knives they use are as sharp as any surgical blades made. Injuries to the cock handlers are common and sometimes serious.
They also use a 2.5" gaff that is so pointed that dragging it on you skin will cut like a razor and a roster can drive deep into a handlers bone.
