The common saying is "as sharp as a tack", but you can finish the phrase with any sharp thing and make it more interesting.

A knife.
A very sharp thing.
Your wit.
A broken glass that you accidently dropped on the kitchen floor at breakfast time.

actually those would be:
as neat as a new pin,
as clean as a whistle,
as straight as a die.
and i think it's generally considered to be 'as sharp as a knife', but i bet blackadder has a better one!
