Which is the safest knife?
A
Dull
B
Sharp
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sharp knives are safer knives. While one certainly needs to take care when using sharp knives, a dull blade is more dangerous than a sharp blade. 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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Frequently Asked Questions. What is the sharpest knife material? Knives with an Obsidian blade are considered the sharpest in the world, but this material is not fit for making kitchen knives as they’re extremely coarse and brittle.

Detailed explanation-3: -It’s true that a sharp Western chef’s knife can do these jobs too, but a serrated knife is safer to use and usually more effective.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
