"I don't say things I don't mean, Cora." He can say that in confidence, too. He never lies. He only ever omits, or carefully twists his words just so. "I'd never use a knife on a human, but a creature I intend to eat is another matter entirely."
Nevermind where that got him in Arena 10 -- delirious and violent on an overload of poison he'd ingested from the meat of the giant bugs he'd used as his main source of food. The important part is there is verifiable footage out there in the Capitol of him using a knife to great effect, and he wouldn't mind recreating it.
