Chipped edges on new planes and do new planes need sharpening before use?

We weren't talking about Seb, but about Eshmiel, who has been banned as Jacob, and another one or two identities as well.
Oh! That is disappointing. I was looking forward to seeing how Eshmiel would make me laugh, or at least smile, by putting me back in my box with an example of his stiletto like word diarrhoea (sic) - yes, it's an oxymoron. Slainte.
 
Not a plane but a knife ...

Today I bought a paring knife from the kitchen section of my local cheapie store. I intend to use it as a marking knife in the workshop. I was surprised to find it is quite sharp as supplied. It easily cuts paper and is more than sharp enough for my purposes. If a cheap kitchen knife can be sold this sharp, why not a plane?
