Sharp blade go through objects with little force. This gives you more control as you are using less force.

A more controlled blade goes into the food and not into your arm. If it does, since you are using less force, its easier to stop yourself.

A dull blade is more likely to slip because it has a harder time getting into the thing you are trying to cut. If it slips, and you’re using more force because it has a harder time getting into whatever you are trying to cut, you’ll end up shoving the knife somewhere it doesn’t belong with more oomph than is necessary a d then you’re in for a bad time
