How is a razorsharp kitchen knife safer than a duller one?
In: Physics
Think of carrots. With a dull knife, slam, slam, slam, as you’re chopping the carrot with your fingers right there on it, guiding it. You’re putting your force into force, not control. Any slight mistake and you slip, and you’re slamming that knife down on your finger. With a very sharp knife you don’t really need any pressure to cut a carrot, just a nice easy slice, slide, slice.
