Well, knives can cut through rubber because they can deliver a large amount of force ''over a small area. ''That is why sharpening a knife makes it cut better.

If force is expanded over a large area, it is less effective. This means that you could literally sleep on a bed of nails without being cut.

The actual amount of force doesn't actually matter all that much. I could stab you with my finger, but it would take tons of force. But if I had a nail instead of the finger, I can cut better with smaller amounts of force.

If Godzilla can cut Battra's neck, that speaks more of the sharpness of his teeth than the force he is applying. Although the force that Godzilla's jaws can apply has been estimated to be as high as 12,000,000 pounds.
