That's pragmatics. Most kitchen work I do requires no really sharp knives Also I have children to take care of. Significantly sharp knives are a risk. But getting a plain old kitchen knife up to speed to cut meat is a real solution here.
Sharp knives are safer than dull ones.
If you have internalized the concept of what a sharp edge is and if you are using said knive to cut things.
If, on the other hand, you are a child, no or a very dull knife is the best option.
OK, fair point.
That's an oft-repeated adage, but, having used both dull and scary-sharp knives, I'm not sure it's true.
Once you've cut the top off your first finger... you learn to grow much more cautious about using them ;)
