A sharp knife requires less force to cut through the apple because it has a finer edge that can easily slice through the fruit's skin and flesh. On the other hand, a blunt knife requires more force to cut, making the process of slicing an apple more difficult and less precise. This extra force also increases the risk of the knife slipping and causing injury.

A sharp knife has a thinner blade that exerts more concentrated cutting force, making it easier to slice through vegetables without applying excessive pressure. A blunt knife, on the other hand, requires more force to cut, increasing the risk of slipping and causing accidents. Additionally, a sharp knife produces cleaner cuts, resulting in less damage to the cell walls of the vegetables and a reduced loss of nutrients and juices.

area of the edge of the blade is smaller for a sharp knife. so for the same force the pressure under the blade will be greater and smaller force required to give the same pressure.
