hiiiiiiiiiii a sharp knife has a very thin
edge to its blade so it cuts objects better because due to its very
thin edge,the force of our hands falls over a very small area of
the object producing a large pressure and this large pressure cuts
the object easily on the other hand a blunt knife has a thicker
edge a blunt knife does not cut an object easily because due to its
thicker edge,the force of our hands falls over a larger area of the
object and produces lesser pressure this lesser pressure cuts the
object with difficulty
hope you 've got it
