From seeing what …
From seeing what some of my friends think (mostly due to movies like Elektra), they think that sai -are- sharp. Still, the weapon can penetrate some types of armor, like wood (in context to the Japanese culture). Striking the neck, then thrusting forward, using the yoku/prong against the throat should still cause a severe injury or death. And if you miss, the guy’s neck’s gotta hurt like .

As hempev mentioned …
As hempev mentioned, as they were used by police, the main advantage of sai, or Jutte, the japanese single Yoku/hook version, the ease of controlling/subduing an opponent with the Sai is unsurpassed. Just hook the opponent’s wrist and circle your hand either way to take them down or immobilize them. I highly advice you to check out hempev’s videoclips of the Sai, that’s how I started.
Strength and Honor,
Vikverjar.

Actually, sai is …
Actually, sai is the only instrument that *started* as a weapon to begin with – they were used by high-ranking officers in what we would call the police. The rest of the force usually used bo, since metal was not mined on the islands and anything made from it was rather expensive. A farmer of that era probably paid a lot for his kama!
