I had the same question, never heard of this. But a bit of googling led me to this. Apparently the Nitei Gavriel mentions it.

I remember vaguely hearing such a thing but never knew the reason. Although I remember it being a challah knife

There is someone who sells knives who places an ad every year in Lakewood.

So the thing with the knife originates to the Rebbe of Lublin, aka the חוזה מלובלין זי׳׳ע, to buy a new knife every Rush Hashuna AND to use it, as a segula for a good new year so Hashem should "cut" a good year for us, based on החותך חיים לכל חי, and particularly for parnasah. It must NOT be a Challah knife, just buy any knife needed for your kitchen at the time, dairy, parve or meat. The minhag is to use it the first night of RH to cut the apple you dip in honey, as well as for the other simanim we eat for a sweet year.

As well as every Shamesh in every Chasiddishe mikva there too.

   Another tamm was a new challah knife used to cut the challah, while it being sharp which would cause less crumbs from cutting the challah, which is a segula for parnasa as well.
   As eating the challah crumbs is a big segulah for parnasa, and here to avoid causing the crumbs from forming as the sharp knife cuts straight through will cause less crumbs.
      We should all be gibenched with parnasa birevach without needing to worry!

Purchasing a New Knife for Rosh Hashanah
By Eliezer Danzinger
Question:

I heard that there is a custom to buy a new kitchen knife every year for use on Rosh Hashanah. Did you ever hear of this, and, if so, what is the reason for this tradition?

Answer:

Though this is not a common custom, a little research confirmed the existence of such a tradition, and also provided its reasoning.

G‑d is the One in charge of everything, yet He does have a whole slew of ministering angels who carry out His orders.

"Chatach," (חתך), which means "cut," is the name of the angel in charge of livelihood.

Consider that the final letters of the Hebrew words, פותח את ידך, "You open up Your hand" (Psalms 145:16), spell "chatach." Additionally, the word that follows in the verse, "u'masbe'a" – "and satisfy [the desire of every living being]" has the numerical value of 428 – the same value as the word "chatach."

For this reason, purchasing a new, sharp knife is a segulah (spiritually propitious), for livelihood, which we petition from G‑d for the upcoming year.1

May G‑d inscribe you and your family, and all the Jewish people, for a year abundant in livelihood—and everything good!

Best wishes for a good and sweet year!

This reminds me of something I once heard from Rav Frand when speaking at a yeshiva's 25th anniversary dinner. He said that the yeshiva asked him to discuss something Jewish about the 25th anniversary being a silver anniversary. "I told them they went to the wrong place! They should go to 13th Ave and walk into a silverstore to ask them. I guarantee they have something Jewish about buying silver for the 25th anniversary!"

Assuming the customer gave consent, I don't see the issue.

What exactly is your question? If it's buried in T&C that you know they didn't actually read?
