45. –With knives, it’s all about control.
A dull knife is more likely to slip rather than
cut. (think about cutting a firm, slippery object such as an
apple. When the smooth edge of a knife is applied to the slick
surface, one of two things will happen: either the blade will
skid along the surface or it will cut into the flesh of the apple.
Once the knife has slipped, it’s a matter of luck & reflexes where
the sharp end goes)
A sharp knife requires much less pressure to cut
into an item. When combined with a reduced
tendency to slip, this gives greater control over
the blade.

form sulfuric acid. The sulfuric acid
burns, stimulating your eyes to release
more tears to wash the irritant away.
