A wedge shape allows a knife to concentrate force over a small area, making it easier to cut through materials by applying pressure. The thin edge of a wedge reduces the surface area that needs to be cut through, allowing for more efficient slicing and cutting.
A wedge
A knife could be a lever or wedge depending on what kind and how you use it. If it's just between lever and inclined plane its lever, NOT inclined plane
Some examples of the wedge include a knife, an axe, a doorstop, and a chisel. The wedge is typically a triangular-shaped tool that can be used to split or separate objects.
A simple machine wedge is an inclined plane that is used to split objects apart. An example of a wedge is a knife, which has a sharp edge that allows it to easily cut through materials by applying a downward force.
A wedge is a simple machine that can make work easier by converting a force applied over a larger distance into a smaller force over a shorter distance. This allows for easier splitting, cutting, or separating tasks to be completed with less effort.
A knife is a wedge by it's classical definition. "A piece of hard material with two principal faces meeting in a sharply acute angle" There is something called a "wedge-knife", however most knives would not make very good wedges.

There are 2 of them and they are a wedge, and a lever.

That would be a wedge as the blade is sharpened to an edge. It could also arguably be a lever, the chopping board being a fulcrum.
