knifeless
Lacking sharp edges
Knifeless describes something or someone without a knife.
It most often appears in practical contexts where knives are deliberately excluded or unavailable: a knifeless kitchen drawer, a knifeless camping trip.
The term can also describe cutting methods that don't require blades, as in knifeless tape used for vehicle wraps, which allows precise cuts without risking damage to underlying surfaces.
