Answer

There's really no difference.

If I thought about it, I'd think 'The penknife is sharp as a razor' implies that the point of the penknife is sharp (just like a needle), while the entire blade of the penknife is sharp if it's sharp like a razor. 
Honestly, I doubt many people would think into it this far.

Metaphorically, there's definitely no difference.
