Tell that to my thumb, which has the scars to prove it wrong. I get the idea, a dull knife needs more force and can slip, but a sharp one just makes the cut cleaner when you mess up. My kitchen rule is basically just assume everything is hot and everything can cut you. It's kept me alive so far, but my vegetable chopping still looks like a crime scene.

Okay but have you actually tried a properly sharp knife on something like an onion or a tomato? The difference is wild because it goes through without you pushing down at all, so your hand isn't even in a position to slip into the blade. It's not about cleaner cuts when you mess up, it's about not messing up in the first place because you aren't fighting the thing you're cutting.

Your thumb might disagree but a sharp knife is way safer.
