Its not possible to do by any metric. And besides, a chain reaction is needed. A single atom turned into pure kinetic energy wouldn’t be noticeable at all.
Yes, and if I cut a mango, how many billions of atoms is that? So I’d recommend to cut the mango in increments of one angstrom to minimise the chances of a chain reaction happening.
The force that keeps the nucleus together is much stronger than the force needed to break the inter-atom bonfs. (Blanking on the names right now. Strong and weak forces?)

Yeah, but what if the knife is really sharp?
