Knives are one of the most versatile tools of all times. They are used everyday in the kitchen for chopping up chicken and for fine detailing small fruits.

On top of this previous answer, the pommel is a design seen since swords (and daggers) were first made of bronze. In their simplest form, they can be used to lock a blade into the handle by method of securing the blade's tang (the rod/slice coming out of the exposed blade through the handle), making the knife as a whole more durable.
Pommels offer the counterbalance to blades which might be larger and heavier such as Arming Swords, in order to improve the handling. Although knives and daggers do not need as much counterbalance as swords, they can still benefit from a point of balance that is about an inch or two from the hilt, this allows for even a heavier grade dagger to feel lighter than it might do if it was weighted towards the blade, despite the actual weight remaining the same.

What is the most expecive knife there is?
The most expensive modern knife would be Jewel of the Orient made by Buster Warenski. It originally sold for 2.1 million. I'm not sure of it's current price.
The most expensive knives that are not modern are only found in museums and will most likely never be sold thus making them priceless. An example of such a knife would be the original King Tut dagger found in King Tut's tomb. The same person that made Jewel of the Orient also made a replica of this dagger and I believe it's the 2nd most expensive modern knife having a original price of about 1 million.
