butter knives
Blunt spreading utensils
Butter knives are dull-edged utensils designed for spreading butter and soft spreads onto bread.
The blade is typically rounded at the tip and lacks a sharp edge, since cutting isn't the purpose.
A butter knife often accompanies a butter dish at the table: She picked up the butter knife and spread a pat across her toast.
