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: -gently tap the edge of the blade against your fingernail. Your knife is sharp if the blade bites in, and dull if it deflects or slides.
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.
