) is your knife, you could add an edge in on the side, and pull them out a bit.Another thing you might want to look into would be the bevel tool (In Maya 7.0, it's in the Modeling menu set, Edit Polygons -> Bevel).

I have Maya 8.5 and I don't have Collapse in my Edit Mesh Menu set but there is an icon for callapse in my Polygon Shelf.
Don't be satisfied with what you can do but rather strive to do the things you can't do!
Exceed Expectations!

Thanks but the ways you have mentioned need much time to do for me, because my knife has too many edges and vertices. Isn't there a quicker way for it?

when you hit this every edge around the cutting edge of your model will be selected, deselect(hold ctrl) the edges you don't want to be sharp.
press and hold shift and rmb and select collapse edges in the merge collapse menu.
hope this helped
good luck
