A knife was an everyday tool. It would be used to trim a leather strap, cut a bit of twine, clip a briar that was caught in a calf's hair, to cut up an apple, to open a can, get a splinter out of your finger, cut your food, cut a "chaw" of tobacco- or a million and one other things that you use a small knife to do.
