Pressure= Force/Area

Since the tip of a sharp knife has lesser area than that of a blunt knife, there is more pressure experienced by the tip of the sharp knife compared to that of the blunt knife, therefore, it cuts more easily.

Pressure is inversely proportional to area. Sharp knife has a small area of contact than the blunt knife. Thus, a force will exert more pressure while using a sharp knife than while using a blunt knife.
