How is a razorsharp kitchen knife safer than a duller one?
In: Physics
In addition to what others have said about greater control and less pressure, if you do injure yourself with a sharp knife, the cut will be cleaner and easier to treat with first aid.
A dull knife, on the other hand, has a good chance of tearing rather than cutting making the injury harder to treat and more prone to secondary injury in the form of infection.
