sharp-pointed
Needle-like at tip
Sharp-pointed describes something that tapers to a fine, piercing tip: sharp-pointed needles, sharp-pointed leaves.
The compound emphasizes that the point itself is sharp, not just narrow—a sharp-pointed stick could puncture skin.
The hyphen is standard when the term precedes a noun.
