A sharp knife is safer...

[pvicenzi]

Depends on the person. Some folks just don't seem to be able to handle a sharp knife. I don't know how many times people have cut their fingers by wiping the edge of a knife that they just had me sharpen. In fact, it just happened again yesterday. They always seem surprised when the knife slices through the rag.

A man can never be too rich.
A woman can never be too beautiful.
A knife can never be too sharp.

I would like my EDC knife to be so sharp that it starts to split atoms on the downswing.

What a great line - may I please have permission to use it?

We have an old saying "The monkey that can't dance says the floor's uneven". I like all my blades ASAP (that's As Sharp As Possible)

Feel free, friend; I'm going to steal your two lines!

The knife is not dangerous the user is

:thumbup:

A knife's edge should never be sharper than the user

:thumbup::thumbup:

Saying a knife is too sharp is like saying a firearm is too accurate.

i can tell you ive said 'i wish this knife was a lot sharper' a lot more than ive said 'i wish this knife was less sharp'

There is no perfect amount of sharpness/dullness for a fool. No edge is foolproof.

My point being, at what point is a knife TOO sharp? (Sorry if this has been discussed before)

A knife is too sharp only when the edge cannot withstand the the tasks which is thrown at it, and the edge chips, rolls, or dents.

In other words, it depends on the job. Is a scalpel more dangerous than a butterknife? Yes, but you don't spread jelly with a scalpel, that would be a misapplication.

On the otherhand, do you want your surgeon cuttin you open with a SAK? Prolly not!

The right tool for the right job!
