    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!

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

    though that wisdom is more applicable to cooking

    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.

    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.

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

    Almost sliced the tip off my thumb while whittling. Got the same compliment. AND they complimented my pain tolerance, no oxy for me, just some local anaesthetic for the stitches. Little did they know that was just the nerve damage, it's still a bit numb a year later.
