depends on what you are doing with it. if you are actively using it for cutting purposes ad sharp knife is far safer for many reasons. first, it provides a cleaner cut to the item, resulting in less chance of the blade slipping and hitting you. second, if it does hit you it will cut clean. A deap cut is bad, but its far worse if it is a deap jagged cut. a clean cut will heal much faster and is easier to bandage, a dull bladed cut tends to tear more then slice and leaves bad scaring. if you are using the knife to spread things (butter, jam, frosting) dull is always better
