Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A dull blade is actually more dangerous to use than one that is sharp. Here’s why: A dull blade requires more pressure to cut, increasing the chance that the knife will slip with great force behind it. A sharp knife “bites” the surface more readily.
Detailed explanation-2: -Keep fingertips curled under the hand that is holding the food. Point the blade away from your body when cutting, washing, or drying a knife. Always use a cutting board. Secure your cutting board with a damp paper towel or non-slip mat.
Detailed explanation-3: -A sharp knife has lesser contact surface area than a blunt one, so, a sharp knife applies a greater pressure when used for cutting. This is why it cuts better.
