"I didn't see term "butter knife" in the article. "
Action Bill in post number seven was the first on this thread to use the term 'butter' knife. It does not appear in the article where it is referred to as a 'bread' knife.
I have one of those I ordered from L.L. Bean years ago; it has a wooden handle and it will cut your heart out.
