Some slang term refer to a somewhat specific type of knife but:
Pig sticker
Texas toothpick
A blade
Cold steel (the company of that name took it’s name from that one)
Those are all that come to mind at the moment

Toadsticker.
My father’s Navy-issue survival blade from WW2 is fantastic, 80 years later I could still probably shave with it — he called it his Nip-sticker. No longer an appropriate term for it, obviously.
I’ve been in the pokey a few times, and there the various stabbing weapons are generically referred to as a shiv. Switchblades are usually called a shiv, but there are lots of other terms for them: bolo, cutter, dagger, Brooklyn bayonet, shank, steel, tickler, edge, cutlass, stiletto of course. The ones that lunge straight out from the handle, rather than flicking up from the side, were called an “angel” when I was a teen. There was a version that shot the blade out as a projectile, known as a “flying angel”.
The opposite of a knife is called a Cuisinart. I just made that up, but every GenX woman in the country has that Cuisinart butcher block with a dozen knives in it on the counter by her toaster, and they all SUCK!
