The spelling of the word "more knifeedged" may seem a bit perplexing. However, when broken down using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), it becomes clearer. The "k" in "knife" is silent, so it's spelled "nife." The "e" at the end of "knifeedged" indicates a long "i" sound. Therefore, it's pronounced "nife-ijd." The "-edged" part is straightforward, as the "-ed" indicates a past participle form. So, "more knifeedged" means even sharper or more pointed than before.
