ELi5 Why is a full blade more dangerous than a sharp blade?
In: 0
A sharp knife takes less effort to use, and less effort is easier to control. It’s a similar difference of how it’s easier to cut a paper snowflake with a pair of scissors than it is to use an axe: the scissors only need a single hand to work, while an axe requires a full body motion. The scissors will give an intricate snowflake, while the axe will tear the paper up and might cut the entire thing to bits instead of small patterns.
Also, dull blades can still cut. An axe is about 1/3 as sharp as a knife, but both can cut a finger off.
