The word "knife-edged" generally refers to something having a sharp, pointed edge. Its antonyms, or opposite words, would, therefore, describe something with a dull or rounded edge. Examples of such antonyms may include blunt, rounded, dull, flat, or even smooth. These words indicate a lack of sharpness or pointedness in an object's edge. The absence of a knife-edge in a tool or object may denote safety or a decreased risk of injury. In contrast, a knife-edged object may be useful for precise cutting or slicing but may also carry a higher risk of accidental injury if not handled with care.
