Detailed explanation-1: -When a knife blade is blunt or dull, it requires more pressure to cut, making it more likely to slip with the increased force behind it and cause an injury. Properly sharpened knives can bite the surface more readily. It is essential that knives be kept sharp so that they can do their job without slippage.
Detailed explanation-2: -The most common way to hone a knife, is with a honing steel. These inexpensive tools, starting at around $12, are essentially steel rods with a handle. The surface of the rod is coarse, and scraping a blade across the rod (at the proper angle), on both sides nudges (hones) its edge back in place.
Detailed explanation-3: -A blunt knife is one that isn’t sharp either because it’s become blunt in use, or because it never was sharp.
