Blunt knives are more dangerous. They skid and slip instead of cutting leading to more cuts on fingers and hands. Blunt cuts also heal slower as they actually do more damage when they cut.

FWIW, the first requirement for the Boy Scout Cooking Merit Badge is to know first aid for the possible injuries during cooking.
