It depends a little on the utility of the knife, but in general, all knives should be able to shave.
The easiest way I've found to check an edge is to lightly tap the blade against your thumb nail perpendicular to the grain, then move it off with the grain. If it sticks or catches, the edge is keen. If it just slides off with no hesitation, the edge needs attention.
Just FYI; if you run your finger along a blade that will stick in your fingernail, you hit bone before you feel the cut. Never run you finger along the blade, you got lucky.
