if not stabbing, what? Are they like the Asian swordbreaker?
Actually, Sai were used as a spacer for seeds, originally. If we want to get into it.
You poke it into the dirt, and you get three holes. You drop a seed down the deepest one, and then move forward a bit, and poke the ground again, lining up the first prong of the sai with the hole the third prong made last time.
So, obviously, they weren't traditionally too sharp. Even once weaponized, Capt is quite right - they were primarily defensive, and actually were seldom used in a pair - usually there would be a different secondary weapon (say....a short sword), that could be used after you disabled your attacker's weapon.
Anyways, my guess is that Elektra's sai's ARE sharp. However, they aren't Wolverine claw molecular edge sharp, and I dunno if she'd be strong enough to pierce Luke with them.
