Knife is most of all recognized as a huge jerk and enjoys mocking others. He has an extremely destructive and malicious attitude, being much of a bully to victims such as Paper and Marshmallow in particular. He is incredibly blunt and loud and says whatever comes to his mind, unafraid of hurting others whether it's physically or psychologically. He has shown to be lazy in the first season where he told Paper they didn't need to compete. However, he is also dedicated to completing challenges and strives to win.

Despite being so hostile and cruel, Knife's been shown to have a soft side, which is highlighted by his attachment to his Dora Doll. In the start of season two, Knife starts off feeling ashamed of this side of himself and is terrified of ruining his dignity. However, later on, he stops caring about this. He learns to be unafraid of letting Trophy show the picture of him and the Dora Doll to the other contestants. As season 2 progresses, there is a noticeable change in his social approach, such as when Knife advises Pickle, a friend of his, with personal issues. He also advises Suitcase and Microphone about their respective situations, showing care and attentiveness to other's problems.

Knife is also shown to be more observant, and takes notice of things others don't, such as noting Microphone's absences and that Suitcase struggles with her alliance. His suspicions lead to him being the only contestant who knows that Microphone is working with Taco as he finds out in an episode. Despite this, Knife has not said anything about it. This is due to not wanting to reveal her secret and repeating what Trophy did to him, which shows his more empathetic side. He attempts to convince her out of the situation and tries to give her advice, and roots for her as she finally listens to her heart.

Knife evolves into a very strategic player in later season 2. In one of the episodes, he recognizes Test Tube's intelligence as a threat and attempts to convince the others that she's a dangerous player. He also conveys the idea of the game being impersonal and is shown to be rational and adaptive. He shows a lot of interest in advancing in the game and has become an incredibly clever contestant.

So despite the fact Knife was all brutal and a complete jerk back then, he has improved as a person and seems to genuinely care more about people and such. He does still keep his jerk persona at times, being sometime blunt and rude at times, but it’s all a front to hide any vulnerability.

Knife was quickly labeled the surface level jerk by many, with his brash attitude and tendency to bully the other competitors. After being criticized for his criminal acts, Knife began to see the error of his ways. Knife’s heightened self-awareness has started him on a personal journey to better himself as a person. Between his newfound attentiveness and improved social game, Knife has evolved into a dangerous player.
