How to use Knife in a sentence?

  1. Donald Trump:

    When he said he hit a friend of his in the face with a lock, with a pad lock, right in the face, I say, 'Whoa,' that's pretty bad, and when he said he stabbed somebody with a knife but it hit a belt buckle -- I know all about knives and belt buckles. Belt buckles aren't gonna stop because they can turn, they can twist ... they're not solid especially if somebody's got a couple extra pounds on them.

  5. Norman Rosenthal:

    Some of these people say things like, The light cuts through me like a knife.
