Its main function is to blend colors. Many painters use a 'pallete' (a flat board that can be hand held) to hold paint to be applied to the substrate (usually a canvas). A pallete knife is used to combine two or more colors on the board to make a new or intermediate color.
Also, some painters use these knives to apply paint to the work. at these times the knife functions more like a brush.
See related link. You can see the artist has blended colors on the pallete.
