...your knife should be nice and sharp, you are less likely to injure yourself with a sharp knife because it won't slip as easy....sometimes there are places you can take your knives to make them sharp again or you can just buy a good steel to sharpen it yourself. Go talk to the person where you can purchase knives and see if they have any info for you. Don't buy those knives that say you never have to sharpen and they never go dull, they are either lying or all the knifes are serrated which isn't all that cool. so have a sharp knife and keep the tips of you fingers bent back so you don't risk loosing one of them, make careful thought out cuts and be mindful of your hands, there is nothing fun about cutting yourself!
