I don’t think I’ve heard anyone say “blind knife” before.
If you’re ever uncertain about an idiom, you could always try Google searching it in quotes.

Can I say “a blind knife” when it’s blunt to the point that it can’t cut anything?
That’s unlikely to be understood by English speakers – it isn’t any normally-used idiom, and “blind” isn’t an adjective you’d apply to a property like sharpness.
The normal terms for a blade lacking a good edge are “dull” or “blunt”.
“Blind” used in an idiom or as a metaphor would generally derive directly from its visual connotations – implications of unguided or chaotic action, poor control, lack of information or awareness, etc. “Blind faith”, “going in blind”, “flailing blindly”, “blind fire”, idioms like that.

A knife disappoints you because it won’t cut.
Knives need to have a sharp edge to cut
Since you are describing the knife ,!dull’ describes the poor condition of the cutting edge
Knives do not have eyes, so blind does not describe it.
It occurred to me that blunt (not pointy) and blind (cannot see) sound similar. English is strange like that.

No, you can´t. Are you a portuguese speaker?
For english speakers speaking like if it was nonsense attributing an adjective related to vision to a knife’s edge, think about your own language a little more instead of just speaking it, you will find thousands of similar terms that are apprently nonsensical.
The origin of the term BLIND (cego in portuguese) when refering to EDGES comes from ancient latin… CAECUS… meant bling but also THICK. A sharp edge is a very very thin edge. If it’s blunt, it’s thick.
