Nope. I had to ask my favourite search engine since my observation on the topic was not deemed that relevant here. Surprisingly simple answer: "At many medieval dinner tables men and women ate in couples from a bowl shared between them, and when they did, men were expected courteously to serve their female partners, cutting portions of meat for them with their knives." So that explains my observation of the paintings from the era that only show the men with knives.
