Why should you not hold knife during solar eclipse?
A solar eclipse is when the Moon covers the disk of the Sun - hence everything becomes dark, like a night. In the same way that you wouldn't do anything with a knife in the dark normally, you wouldn't want to risk cutting yourself during the time that the solar eclipse is taking place - you won't be able to see to fix it for about four minutes, after all. I think the questioner is implying that holding a knife during a solar eclipse is a superstition in some cultures. Also, even during a total solar eclipse it never gets as dark as the middle of the night; there is still plenty of diffused light from the corona. It feels and looks like a few minutes after sunset.
