'''Jack the Knives''' are formed after all their rage of butter-spreading and other jobs knives do. They are bigger versions of knives (however not too big, about the size of [[Wario]]) and have eyes. They jump out of tables of the [[S.S. Caviar]] and try to attack Wario. [[Mack|Mack the Knife]] has a similar name to them, but it might be coincidental.
