All but the smaller sizes of twist drills are ground with "back taper": the
tip has a greater diameter than the shank to prevent binding in the hole.
The edge(s) are sharp throughout the entire length of the flutes, however it
is the 'other [perpendicular] end' that actually does the cutting: the lip,
extending from the chisel edge to the periphery.
