That didn't come up in the Honyaku discussion. I think the idiom itself works either way. Literally it means "the knife goes in", but from what I see in WWW examples there's no intransitive sense implied. I suggest just leaving it as-is.

without looking at the honyaku discussion, is there any chance this should be reworded as intransitive (e.g., meaning something like "to have begun in earnest")?
