If it can't easily cut through a whole, ripe tomato without ruining it, then it's probably not sharp enough.
I remember when I used to receive kitchen knives from the sharpening service at the kitchen I used to work at. These knives would practically "melt" through the tomatoes. That's sharp. I wouldn't dare do the "thumb test" on those things.
