Because the horn switch is made up of 2 flat pieces. One side connected to ground the other to the horn circuit. When you push them together it completes the circuit. I am going to guess that the knife damage caused them to touch constantly. Please disable your airbag system by removing the negative battery cable and not letting it touch any metal and waiting at least 2 minutes for the system capacitor to discharge. Or it could go off and you wouldn't want your head in the way.
