When I worked in a kitchen, i was taught to say "Knife!" any time I was moving from one station to another holding a knife, same with "hot pan". The person who trained me did not respond verbally when I asked if there were any particular reasons for the "knife!" instruction, but I heard from others that there was good reason for it.

I can think of one: I'd hate to turn around to walk in the direction of someone walking towards me with a knife.

Reminds me of the scene in, like s1 GOT where the Bravosi teacher talks to Arya about how people are bags of water...

Oh, here it is:
