I've never seen one but I know several on here have said how sharp they are. I'm surprised deer like them so much if they are that sharp

The burrs are sharp but most of the nuts exit the burrs and fall free to the ground.

The husks split open after they fall to the ground so its easy for the deer and squirrels to get the nuts out.
