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: -It is easier to cut with a sharp knife than with a blunt one because, for the same applied force, the pressure exerted (force/area) is more in the case of a sharp knife than in the case of a blunt one as the sharp knife has lesser area.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pressure is inversly proportional to area and sharp knife has less area which exert more pressure while blunt knife has more area so it exert less pressure this is the reason sharp knife cut better.

Detailed explanation-4: -A sharp knife needs less pressure to cut and will not only damage the steak, or any food, less but also lowers the chance of injury. Most knife injuries that occur in a kitchen will be from blunt or damaged knives. Though it may seem counterintuitive, the sharper the knife the safer it is to use.
