The laws of the various jursidictions treat this matter differently - and the facts surrounding the alleged "threatening" often play into how law enforcement and the prosecutor view the gravity of the offense.
If the threats are continuous and on-going and accompanied by actions intended to put the victim in fear, they are given great weight. If it only amounts to someone calling you names without further physical actions, not so much.

What happens if you are accused of carrying a knife but theres no evidence?
I suppose it would depend on if a crime was involved. If there was no crime, just an accusation that someone was carrying a knife, like in a pocket or purse, and the knife was not brandished as in taking it out and threatening someone, or like used to cut or stab another person, and just someone saying they suspected a knife was being carried.... Then it would just be his or her word against the accused.

It depends on the details. A witness is not strictly necessary in all cases.

What if you overhear someone threaten to kill someone?
If the threat is being voiced, in person, to the individual they are threatening, then it is THAT person's responsibility to take action, if any. If you overhear someone planning, or plotting, or threatening to kill someone who is not present - as a good citizen you should bring the information to the attention of law enforcement with as much supporting information as possible. You may be responsible for saving a life. People seldom voice threats like that to absent persons.
