    The elementary mathematical expression for pressure is giving by ,
    P = F/A
    Here, P is the pressure , F is the force acting perpendicular to the surface to which this force is applied and A is the area of the surface .
    The same force applied by a sharp knife with a smaller area of contact will exerts a much greater pressure than a blunt knife having a considerable larger area of contact .
    Once a blunt knife is through the object (vegetable or other food), there is a greater chance for the pressure to lead to slippage, skidding and injury. A sharp knife can cut using the edge of the e knife with a safer slicing. Rather, cuts from sharper knives can actually heal more easily than those from dull knives. A sharp knife is a safer knife than a dull knife.  less

According to the equation, force is directly proportional to pressure. A blunt knife has more area around the cutting edge than a sharp knife. So a blunt knife requires more pressure for the same amount of force to be exerted, as the pressure applied increases the chances of the knife slipping and cutting Adam's hand increases. Similarly, a sharp knife would require less pressure to be applied for the same amount of force to be exerted, this not only allows Adam to cut through the food but also prevents the knife from slipping and cutting his hand.  less

    Abdullah Julaybib Firstly, you’ll need more pressure to use a blunt knife.
    P=F/A, for a fixed area, force is directly proportional to pressure. If the
    area of a blunt and a sharp knife is same, then doubling the pressure on blunt
    knife means doubling the force....  moreFirstly, you’ll need more pressure to use a blunt knife.
    P=F/A, for a fixed area, force is directly proportional to pressure. If the
    area of a blunt and a sharp knife is same, then doubling the pressure on blunt
    knife means doubling the force.
    
    Secondly,F= {m(v-u)}/t
    
    Assume, two knives have same mass and you take same amount of time to cut. As
    you start from a zero velocity, that means u=0. Ultimately you end up giving
    much more velocity to the blunt than sharp one. So, if you accidentally slip
    while cutting, blunt will hit your finger faster, which might cause a serious
    injury. Sharp knife will have less velocity, which has multiple advantages:
    bringing the sharp knife to rest is easier than blunt one. If you slip, sharp
    knife won’t hit so fast. It may cause a
    little scratch, or you’ll be lucky to stop the sharp knife as soon as it touches your skin (blunt one
    would cause a deep scar).
    
    
    For same time duration, point of contact (finger and knife)
    faces two different momenta. As a result,...    less

Here, according to Pascal's law (P = f/a, where pressure is the force applied over a certain area), the sharp knife can exert greater pressure than the blunt knife, as the sharper knife has less contact area for the same force than the blunt knife, so the force would be exerted over a smaller area. So in order to cut anything, one would need to apply a larger force in a blunt knife than a sharper knife, and this might result in the blunt knife cutting the hand due to excessive pressure applied by the user while cutting any other objects.  less
