WAG: why Nicodemus wanted the knife
Kindler:
Hmm. I think the Knife was in Harry's coat pocket... which Butters put on before he ran out to fight Nicodemus. I can't really check right now to be sure—does Harry hand it off to Michael or someone else?

I'm fairly certain Harry's got it now. I think I remember a discussion at the end of Skin Game where Michael acknowledges the corruption in the Church as a reason Harry should keep the artifacts.
Bad Alias:
I'm fairly certain the knife was in the coat pocket thru the entire action of Skin Game. That is, once Harry pulled it out of his sleeve.
groinkick:
There is a chance Nicodemus didn't want to knife for any purpose other than to unmake it, destroy it. He could have known that the need for the Knife was coming, and that it would find it's way into the hands of mortals, and he wanted to prevent it from happening. Ironically it was his actions that resulted in mortals acquiring the Knife.
A fun theory I just thought of is that the knife is more of a Saint's weapon (a wizard who uses Faith Magic). It would be one heck of a foci tool

Just imagine using it as an athame in a ritual!
