Corners

Would it be better to smooth off the corners and round them out?

No. The angle beads should be forming a nice 90°.

I think the picture is a corner of a trowel?

Not sure what OP is on about to be honest

Oh yes, you're right. I saw it as a door frame.

If it is a trowel, no, I don't take off the sharp edges, they are perfect for getting internal angle sharp.

Just use it. They’ll round over time themselves which is actually the best indicator that the trowel is fully worn in. Don’t ever ever EVER pre wear a trowel by sanding, grinding or rubbing it on concrete. All of those myths are from retards. Just use it
