> If it looks like the leading edge of an F-104 is sharp, then you'd be right.
> Remember seeing one in an airshow decades ago and the leading edge looked sharp
> enough to cut an apple in two.

Maintenance crews had a rubberized leading edge boot to apply to the
edge to prevent inadvertent scalpings.
