The edges are sharp and strangely enough they warn you of this in their instructions.

the only thing is in the corner of the handle there is some sharp edges that can cut your finger, it should be file down

It even has a caution about sharp edges

If you're a handy-man (like me) you can file and smooth out those sharp edges pretty easily so this isn't a reason to hate the product

Sure enough, I had to use a 600 grit sandpaper to smooth some rough and sharp edges, including the handle caps.

Instead, there is a sharp edge

Metal has unnecessarily sharp edges and lid doesn’t seal, it just kind of loosely sits on top

The pair of horizontal plates joining the handle are not edge rounded especially at the end near the handle and the two small dents on the handle are not smoothed neither.

Avoid direct contact with the screen's edge (this is the screen that is at the bottom of the French press plunger) as it does have kind of a sharp edge.

I find I always need to keep a dish towel around to wipe up what dribbles out.- Because it is impossible to dry out the metal base, this part will rust eventually.- Sharp edges of the handle dig into your hand

The stainless steel edges are also pretty sharp.

The sharp edges are on the handle but luckily, in my case, not so extreme.

the edges are sharp enough to cut your hand

This appeared to be a well made french press, but the edges of the handle components are razor sharp in places and therefore a laceration hazard.

I give 4 stars because there is a sticker that says the metal part of the french press has sharp edges
