A knife is a weapon, and the way to manufacture a knife is to sharpen the edge of some metal.
A Molotov cocktail is maybe ever so slightly more complex to describe/understand/imagine? I think if you've ever seen a photo or description of one, or thrown one in GTA as a child, you know how they are made. The overlap of people interested in making one and people not already knowing how to make one is surely approximately nil.
Sounds like you don't get it either; we agree.
