Answer 2

Answer:

The cutting edge of a knife is made very thin to make it sharp enough to cut the necessary items with it.

Explanation:

The smaller the area, the larger will be the pressure for the same force. In simpler words, the force will be more if the area on which the force is given is less. This is why it is suggested to sharpen a knife. The sharper a knife will be, the thinner the edge would be, larger will be the pressure on a very small area.
