What is a "butter knife"?
A butter knife is a small, blunt-edged knife with a rounded tip, primarily used for spreading butter or other soft spreads, such as jam or cream cheese, onto bread, toast, or other food items. It typically has a narrow blade and a rounded or flat handle for comfortable grip. Butter knives are designed to easily glide through butter without tearing or damaging the food surface.
