butter knife
Dull table utensil
A butter knife is a small, dull-bladed knife used for spreading butter onto bread.
The blade is typically rounded at the tip and lacks a sharp edge, designed for scooping and spreading rather than cutting.
Pass me a butter knife, please.
The term sometimes appears figuratively for something ineffective as a weapon or tool.
