That's a good theory.

I have one but it's far-fetched. The knife looks to mel ike it was modified from a sabre because of the stitches holding the blades together on the handle. If both come from Tyvia (the knife was found there and the sabres are made of Tyvian ore) then they share the same origin, possibly the cult that sacrificed the Outsider. So in that way the Abbey relates to the cult, which was the same kind of people who they fight against.

If I take your theory in account, it's possible the Abbey knew the cult used a modified sabre to kill the Outsider. They may have copied model but didn't know what the knife itself looked like.

Even more far-fetched, the Abbey is the cult who lost the knife and uses their fight against everything magic to find it
