The tail of a Stegosaurus wasn't sharp. However, it had two spikes that protruded from each side of the end of the tail. The two foot long spikes were called thagomizers, and with the force of the tail behind them, the thagomizers were capable of even injuring bone. They weren't sharp enough to cut you if you touched them, though.
