Try to put oil into fork and knives and try to hold it. The state of the forks and knives covered in oil is called reduced friction. 0 friction means there is nothing, no force to stop the fork and the knives from falling off your hand and sliding through any object. Therefore, you need friction in order to grab and forks and knives and hold onto it.
