Gotta assume he's using the big feathers as a vibroweapon, because I doubt they are sharp.

it really sharp because in the manga he decapitate the 2 white nomu he fought but it seem the anime censor it

He did decapitate them, but but they regenerated immediately, which is why you see huge scarring around their necks.

I think these ones did, as they came directly out of this special Nomu's body. Yes, the other ones we've seen did not, but if you watch that scene again, it's definitely implied that he decapitated them, and the cuts healed immediately. It has that nasty, bubbly scar tissue look around their necks immediately after his attack.

I think they wanted to convey how fast Hawks is, and also how fast that special regeneration is. There's no reason for them to censor decapitating a monster. We've seen people lose eyes, arms, legs, and hell, Magne was straight up exploded into a bloody mist. A decapitation of a non-human beast seems tame at this point.

I'm pretty sure they're just sharp. He does have weird abilities on his feathers like echolocation, but I doubt he's able to use vibration to make "blunt" feathers able to cut stuff.

He's picking up people by their coat collar area, so they probably have some sort of sturdyness to it. Maybe not enough to slice someone, but probably enough to stab
