The letter 'K' begins the word 'knife' because the word's uncertain origins in the Proto-Germanic word *knibaz were honored by the Ancient Norsemen when they brought the word into their language (Old Norse) as knifr, which was then brought into the Late Old English as the word cnif. Thence to modern English as we know it today.
