Nice sharp knife.. Good present for your mother..

one of the reasons why sharp knives are safer than dull knives generally

though that wisdom is more applicable to cooking

[-] rustyricotta@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 13 hours ago

I've always thought that dull knives are more dangerous because you have to put a lot more force to cut something, and when it suddenly does, all that force could go wildly.

[-] OboTheHobo@ttrpg.network 14 points 13 hours ago

That too, honestly thats the more significant reason. Shaper knives give cleaner cuts which heal easier was the point i was making, but yeah the bigger reason is that you have much better control with a sharp knife and need way less force.

Also, a good sharp knife will cut with chopping push down. A less sharp knife requires a slicing move.

It's really hard to cut yourself with a chopping motion .

Not according to my partner's family! I sharpened one of the kitchen knives and was told it was too sharp. I had grown bored of having to saw through onion skins

Oh wow I actually understood what you said

Oh! Is your specialty also communications-based?

I’ve got a degree in scientific and technical communications and what you said is a dream to hear!

Its maths so kinda 😅 the sign of true mastery over a theorem is finding the least convoluted way to prove it.

Cut myself while grafting after sharpening my knife and got the same compliment.

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 7 points 14 hours ago

A sword shouldn’t be as sharp as a knife though as the edge will nick very easily.

The blade shall keel

This happened in an episode of This Old Tony.
