Feel the blade with your thumb, making sure to rub perpendicular from the edge, so you don’t cut yourself, and if it is sharp, it will feel thin, and visa versa

uhm… cut a tomato, clean knife, cut something of the strength of a paper plate. If knife does not cut to satisfaction, sharpen until it does. NOTE: Do expect resistance even from sharp knife.
Also, if its dull, higher chance there will be small visible ridges along the blade.
