I grew up watching the Reruns of these guys. Like you said they come sharp sometimes but don't hold it edge very long. I have been rescuing them from Pawn Shops and Junk Stores during the Summer.Actually I have found many of the novelty barlows take a very sharp edge...they just don't hold it well. These would be more for display than carry. They tend to have hollow bolsters and just don't wear all that well. But for many kids growing up in the 50s-60s these were the first knives they owned. I grew up watching many of these characters on TV and even listening to a few on the radio.
