In one direction. They're sharp against the grain, but it's like the finest polishing sand papers. Definitely can't grate cheese.

Say it with me: Every shark is completely smooth no matter what angle you're touching it from

I ate a Japanese restaurant once and they grated the wasabi on a shark skin paddle.

No. I don’t think I will.

“If you have ever petted a shark in an aquarium touch tank,” said Erin Dillon, who began this study as an intern at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) and is now wrapping up her doctoral work at the University of California, Santa Barbara, “denticles are the reason why shark skin is rough like sandpaper if you rub it in one direction yet smooth in the other direction. Sharks are essentially covered by millions of tiny teeth.”
