Agreed.
Some of HFY's Kiu Sau fighting methodology, strategy & tactics directly mirrors those of the knives.
There are also influences in our Kiu Sau that come direct from spear fighting tactics (although we do not have the spear in our system).

There is some obviously made up detail which would cause most reasonable people to doubt the rest of it.
Try 100-200 years old
Chi sau is a training drill for punching. Would be senseless to incorporate knives.Could one implement knives into chi sao? Smaller blades? Would it still work ? Does it make sense? Not to imply I disagree. I do not know but again I see similarity. Parrying, getting off the line of attack, sensitivity. Put a folder in your hands. Still work?

Gents...just FYI... NOBODY knows for sure, and we'll NEVER KNOW... so let's all not sweat the small stuff.
Yes, chi sau is a DRILL...and only a DRILL...but it's what the WC'er gets from training the drill that can (if needed) transcend the drill. It is, after all, just an idea.
I've heard this before from the WSL lineage. So in that lineage, this may be true, but in my experience 'chi sau' is about a lot more than training for punching.
Again, depends on the lineage and how one defines 'chi sau'. If you are referring to chi sau as in a tan/bong/fook rolling/training platform you may be right from one perspective. But from another, 'chi sau' is a lot more than just a drill or training platform - it is also an all-encompassing bridging platform that directly applies to fighting
