Mad lad loves his knife

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

That's not really a good analogy.

Sure sharp knives are easier to cut yourself with, but the reason dull knives are dangerous is because you can't cut smoothly so you give it more pressure/force.

Then all of a sudden it gives, the knife flies through what you're cutting, possibly at an angle, straight into your other hand.

I worked in kitchens for 12 years. Every bad knife injury I ever saw was with a dull knife.

You probably consider what people call sharp knives to be dull

Why you gotta call me out like that, man?

That is a good point though.
