Practical example: 

Clone a deal and place it in a different pipeline/stage, copy and clear some properties, include notes and line items, and associate with the original deal,  all at the same time. 

Each year a new contract is signed, therefore we clone a deal and the cloned version is saved on the renewal pipeline. With PocketKnife, we can modify all the deal properties.
