Pointed nails part the fiber of the timber.
But ... this is exactly why you do not want to use sharp nails. The sharp nails push the fibers in the wood grain apart causing the wood to split along the grain. A blunt nail crushes through the fibers leaving the grain intact.
The blunt end of the hammer is called the 'peen.' Other parts of the hammer include the face, the head, the eye and the cheek.
The striking side of a modern carpenter's hammer is called the head.
blunt, straight-forward, rude
if you mean the blunt-edged yellow flower kind of star then you get it from certain houses along the street with your extractor
Bombs, bolos, bazookas, blackjacks, blowguns, blunt instruments, and firearms made by Browning, Beretta, Barrett and Bersa.
it is easier because the pointed needle is sharp so it is easier as it is difficult to sew with a blunt needle becose it is not sharp
Yes. You can tell the difference between a pointed and blunt five because the top of the number is kind of blunt or pointed (if that's not confusing enough :) ). 1965 blunt pennies are worth considerably less than pointed pennies (17 cents in uncirculated condition).

Nails are made with pointed tips to easily penetrate materials such as wood or metal. The pointed tip allows the nail to be driven into the material with less force, making it easier and quicker to secure two pieces together. Additionally, the sharp point helps to prevent the material from splitting when the nail is being hammered in.
A fox's teeth are sharply pointed, and designed for tearing the flesh of the small animals that are its staple food. A deer's teeth are blunt and broad, because they're intended for crushing plants and grass.

If the stick is just sitting there, it doesn't exert any force at all. If you're swinging the stick, the shape of the stick won't matter much; the force will be determined by the speed and mass of the stick. If you are poking with the stick, then the FORCE will be the same whether it is blunt or pointed - but a pointed stick will concentrate the force into a smaller AREA, so the force per area will be a lot higher with a sharp stick than with a blunt one.
It is easier to hammer a sharp peg than a blunt one because the sharp tip concentrates the force applied during the strike on a smaller surface area, which allows it to penetrate the material more easily. This results in less resistance and requires less energy to drive the peg into the surface. In contrast, a blunt peg has a larger surface area, causing greater friction and resistance, making it more difficult to insert.

A sharp nail has a smaller surface area, allowing it to penetrate the wood more easily. The smaller cross-section reduces the amount of wood fibers that need to be displaced, making it easier to drive the nail in.
