Once a knife becomes dull the edge will fail to easily penetrate the item being cut and may slip away from the surface which can cause you to accidentally cut yourself. More force is also needed to cut through something with a dull knife which can also cause a dangerous accident if the knife slips away from the surface in an unintended direction.
