Sharp

To sign sharp, hold out your non-dominant hand flat, with fingers together and palm facing down. Then take the middle finger of your dominant hand and slide it from the top of your other hand to the end of your middle finger, as if cutting it with a knife.

Sharp is signed a bit like touch, so be careful not to get these signs confused.

    Hi, like your website a lot. This sign however looks a lot like the sign for ’empty’ according to other sources, and there’s another version of ‘sharp’ that looks more likely, with the non-dominant hand in the shape of an upturned knife (index finger standing out alone) and the dominant hand touching its tip in a sharp movement with the middle finger.
