On the personal knife issue, on one of my knife forums we got into it pretty deep about 15 or 20 years whether Jesus carried a knife, people carried and brought their own knives for eating, here is a mention about cutlery much later, in the Middle Ages.

“Because hosts did not provide cutlery for their guests during the Middle Ages in Europe, most people carried their own knives, similar to the one at the left, in sheaths attached to their belts. These knives were narrow and their sharply pointed ends were used to spear food and then raise it to one’s mouth.
