How is a razorsharp kitchen knife safer than a duller one?
In: Physics
a sharp knife is easier to control and wont face much resistance while cutting. not much force is required and the knowledge that its sharp usually means the wielder will respect the danger it has.
a dull knife while it still cuts it might need more force behind it, this alone makes it more dangerous due to slippage and the user being complacent in the fact that the knife is dull.
result: you are far more likely to injure yourself with a dull knife than a sharp one.
