In most religions it is bad manners to do so in public, but nobody said anything about liking your knife alone
It is seriously bad manners to lick your fingers at the supper table or any other time. Even if the food being served is chicken or rabbit, it is bad manners to lick your fingers.
No doubt the rule arose from the fact that it is remarkably stupid to lick knives. Only in the past couple of hundred years have table knives been dull. Prior to that, licking a knife could result in serving a dish that was not on the menu.
At a barbecue it isn't a problem to lick your fingers. Barbecue is meant to get dirty with. If at a formal event or gathering, it's better to just use a fork and knife.

Etiquette: This is a set of rules various parts of the world follow. These 'rules' are little things that tell you what is proper. Ex: You use different types of knifes and forks for different types of food. This shows proper etiquette. It is not bad manners to use your salad knife to cut your fish, you would just not be following the etiquette. Manners: Manners are what you do in a specific way to be polite, courteous, etc. showing proper manners means making the person around you not feel bad. Ex: You say please and thank you show good manners. You are not 'showing etiquette' while doing this. Note: Sometimes showing improper etiquette CAN make you show bad manners. Ex: It is in the etiquette rules to congratulate the bride and groom during the wedding. Not doing this also shows bad manners.
