Most, knowledgeable, who know about the sharpest cutlery will say that you never feel the cut of the sharpest of knives but they inflict their damage without the person even knowing they were cut in the first place. I'm speaking about accidental cutting that is. It is a dull knife that tears as it cuts whereas the sharpest slices apart, the medium it's used on, without tearing. I do not claim to know much about cutlery or knives or the best methods for sharpening them or keeping them sharp but I do know that it is an art.
