classical mechanics - Is there any direction of pressure i.e. according to force applied or something..?


I was reading about pressure in general and came to know that it is a scalar and being scalar it has no direction(by definition of scalars). But I think that there is some direction as when we push a wall we apply pressure on it in a particular direction,while cutting an object with a knife etc. I don't know if its correct.Please help. Any help and edits are appreciated
