Answer 1

A dull blade isn’t nesssarily more dangerous, heck, I’ve slipped with dull blades and done 0 damage to my callus hands.

I’ve slipped with sharp ones, and done significant damage.

I think TV chefs like to say it a lot because, with perfect form, a sharp blade is less prone to accidents as you’ll need to apply less pressure/force to achieve your desired outcome.
