I just like to make the bottom of a walking stick forked in case I happen to stumble across a snake. Too many rattlesnakes and copperheads around this time of year. I have no interest in getting close, just want something to keep them away from me if needed.

That's fair enough.
Plenty of snakes here in Australia to be wary of.

I see many people posting knives with some sort of food. Now, y’all ain’t dulling your knives by scraping them across a porcelain plate are you? Do you just very carefully cut just short of the plate?

I cut at an angle that matches my edge angle, but still try to stop short of the plate.
I always wonder when I see a knife posed on rock where it looks like the actual edge is touching the rock, but hopefully it’s just an optical illusion.
That said, I know of few things that dull a knife faster than cardboard. It’s very abrasive.
