WAG: why Nicodemus wanted the knife

Yeah, I'm just curious if the knife was part of the reason Butters made it through the action, between running outside and getting the Sword. I know Harry's keeping the stuff on Demonreach now, and was mostly just wondering if it was chilling in the pocket of his borrowed coat.

I doubt it, for starters Butters didn't know what is was, at the moment we don't know how it is used or if it provides any protection.

Without knowing how it works, we can't say for certain, but I don't think you need to know what it is or do anything to invoke it's power, you just need to have it.
That said, nothing that happened seemed to really require any supernatural protection on his part, until the Sword got into it, and chalking that up to the knife would undercut the importance of his faith that made it happen.

Exactly, unless you buy that it may have guided the hilt to the hand of Butters in the first place. Harry tossed it in a last ditch leap of faith towards the hand of Charity, but it bounced instead to the hand of Butters and lit up. On the other hand I agree that this might seem to undercut the power of the Sword to chose it's wielder...

What if the reason Nicodemus wanted the knife from Skin Game was because it can destroy denarian coins, which by WoJ would free the Fallen inside to act?

His coin with the Fallen within, keeps him alive. It seems counter intuitive.
