The notch in a butter knife is primarily designed for practical purposes. It helps to prevent the knife from sticking to the butter, allowing for easier spreading. Additionally, the notch can be used to scoop or cut through the butter, making it more versatile in serving soft spreads. This small design feature enhances the functionality of the knife while maintaining its aesthetic appeal.

Proper position for a dinner knife?

The dinner knife, or 'service knife,' in a semi-formal, or formal setting would be for the knife to be at the right of the dinner plate, with the blade facing the plate. If there is a butter plate and butter knife or 'spreader,' that knife should be on the butter plate to the left of the dinner plate, just above the cutlery on the left. The butter knife should be place with the handle facing to the right and the blade facing downwards. If there is an additional knife, such as a fish knife, etc., that knife should be to the right of the dinner knife, with the blade facing towards the dinner knife.
