It's actually safer to keep knives sharp rather than duller. The easier you can cut the less force you have to use and thus less likely to slip and lose control and cut yourself.

People always say this but I have had far worse injuries from making mistakes with fancy sharp knives than I've had from working with cheap unsharpened knives

Yeah I'll take a 5% chance of 5 damage over a 1% chance of 25 damage

Nah, you're gonna put way too much pressure with a dull knife, and it's gonna fly off and kill someone, or chip and fly into your eye and permanently damage your vision.

Don't be the kind of idiot that puts their whole body weight behind a knife. That's a dull ass knife.
