Is there another purpose for knives in A Plague Tale Requiem?

Knives in Plague Tale: Requiem, are, in fact, multi-purposed, as you need knives to unlock Secret Chests. Requiem will not tell you that, so if you've used a knife on an enemy but then found a Secret Chest, you won't be able to open it. In A Plague Tale: Requiem, knives are used like shivs in The Last of Us Part 1.

It certainly doesn't help that, at first, you carry only one knife. But there is good news. Using a workbench, you can hold additional knives by upgrading your gear[add link here] to level three, but this may take a bit of game progress before you can do so. So, until you get your equipment in order, don't use a knife until there is no other option.
