How sharp is sharp? If it is one of the micrograin carbide inserts made for aluminum which have highly polished finish and almost a razor edge it will probably be sharp enough. If it is one intended for steel it may not be sharp enough. Teflon tends to flow around the cutting edge of a tool unless the tool is really sharp.
An open mind is a virtue...so long as all the common sense has not leaked out.
