Best Answer

A dull knife is a dangerous knife because you have to apply more pressure when you are cutting. When you have to apply more pressure you increase the risk of the knife slipping or moving and cutting you instead. This makes it a dangerous knife.

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.
