See? There's a condition for knives to be not dangerous.

See? There's an "if".

But maybe I missed something - where did I say that sharp
knives aren't dangerous? I "browsed" through all my replies
and don't find such a reply anywhere. I always only find,
that sharp knives aren't dangerous, *IF* used properly. I
always mention a condition for knives to be not dangerous.
