Can you explain what a patch knife is? I ‘think’ I know but I’ve been wrong on a lot of things.

I bought one as a kit about 10 years ago from I believe Dixie Gun Works or a similar website.

When black powder shooters load their guns,they put their ball on a piece of cloth to push down the barrel and seal the load. Most use strips of cloth and push the ball just below the end of the barrel and use a patch knife to trim the cloth to size.
