I think some of the other suggestions are better, but my first thought was burying the knife in its food supply (assumings it’s being given like entire dead cows or something) and hoping it takes a big enough bite to swallow it.
I imagine that blade going through the digestive track has a good chance to kill it.
Meh, the esophagus is certainly tough enough for that but stomach acid can do a number on bones. The story is different for metal depending on stuff I don’t know much about, but I imagine a quality blade would stand a good chance. And intestines should be softer than bone. And depending on how fast they digest, you might get a few tries at least… Idk I think it’s a decent plan really

Honestly, if it eats entire raw bones, I don’t think a little knife would do much.

Decent plan. However, you are giving up your only weapon so you better hope it’s enough.
I can’t imagine killing a hippopotamus with a knife. I don’t care if it’s sleeping well after I attempt to attack it. One result, every time.
Now I’m imagining a far more dangerous monster, several times larger and faster. Yeah, it’s just not a weapon in my mind.
