Is a sharp knife safer than a dull one?

In this safety video, Rachel from Ally Safety explains that sharper blades on cutting tools, such as utility knives, are safer than dull ones. She outlines four reasons supporting this claim, including the need for less force, which leads to better control and a lower risk of accidental injury. Rachel also provides safety handling tips and stresses the importance of maintaining sharpness for precision cutting. Despite the risk of deeper cuts, she notes that sharper blades facilitate cleaner cuts, aiding quicker healing, and urges users to prioritize sharpness and safety.

The sharp blade used in this video was the Infinity Blade from AccuTec and the holder was the A1 also from AccuTec.
