Written by: Maria McArthur
Which do you think is more dangerous a dull knife or a sharp knife?
Knifes are a utensil you use in the kitchen to cut things up like bread, vegetables, fruits, meats, etc. Knifes can be dangerous, speaking of which, which do you think is more dangerous a sharp knife or a dull knife? Well the answer is a dull knife, this is because when your cutting your items the knife won't be a sharp so you'll have to put more effort in it which leads to accidentally cutting yourself. So next time you have a dull knife get a sharp knife and give the knife to an adult to sharpen.
What not to do.
Never cut from the top, the knife will just slide up and hit your hand.
An adult
Always have an adult cut things up for you or have an adult supervision.
Holding a knife.
Always grab the knife by the handle never ever should you grab it by the blade. Grabbing a knife by the blade is very dangerous, not even if you didn't cut your self in the process you could trip or something else doesn't matter you the blade could slip and slide up your hand slit your hand open badly.
Basic rules with cutting items in the kitchen
When cutting things up never cut them up in your hands, the right thing to do is get a cutting board. Always be alert when handling a knife, never be distracted. This can lead to very bad injuries. Always hold the item your cutting on the cutting board with one hand. Make sure to tuck your fingers in/curl them under, so your fingers are not sticking out when the blade comes down.
