Does sharp metal hurt more than dull metal?

In short, yes, but the question is actually more complicated than it sounds. If you mean, "Does it hurt more to cut yourself with a dull blade than a sharp one?" The answer is yes because cutting yourself with a dull blade produces a wider cut, which does more damage to the skin. Consider a cut from a razor blade versus a cut from a steak knife. The razor goes in easily and makes a small incision whereas the steak knife rips the skin as opposed to slicing it and produces a much wider cut and consequently more pain. However, the answer could be no if you consider the following scenario. If someone stabs another person with a sharp knife, a cut results that could do serious organ or tissue damage. The organ and tissue damage would be considerably less if the object were very dull, like say a baseball bat.

Is a dull knife more dangerous than a sharp knife?

answer Yes it is, to the extent that student butchers are taught: "You are much more likely to cut yourself with a dull knife". You have to "fight" a dull knife. A truly sharp knife works effortlessly. Kinda-sorta A blunt knife needs to be used with more force to do the cuts, and is more likely to slip - both b/c of the extra force and b/c of wanting to find its own way through the material being cut. With less control comes more risk of injury.
