one of the reasons why sharp knives are safer than dull knives generally
though that wisdom is more applicable to cooking
I've always thought that dull knives are more dangerous because you have to put a lot more force to cut something, and when it suddenly does, all that force could go wildly.
That too, honestly thats the more significant reason. Shaper knives give cleaner cuts which heal easier was the point i was making, but yeah the bigger reason is that you have much better control with a sharp knife and need way less force.
Also, a good sharp knife will cut with chopping push down. A less sharp knife requires a slicing move.
It's really hard to cut yourself with a chopping motion .
Not according to my partner's family! I sharpened one of the kitchen knives and was told it was too sharp. I had grown bored of having to saw through onion skins
