The widespread superstition that forbids eating with a knife has ancient roots and several explanations.
Most often they say that a person will become evil, he will get an evil wife, and if a woman eats from a knife, her husband will certainly become an alcoholic. But there are also interpretations that the one who eats from a knife will soon become stupid or get sick.

Mystics believe that anyone who eats with a knife pierces their aura.
