English term or phrase: He's got some NOIVE. (knife??)
Estoy traduciendo un capítulo de la serie Xena, Princess Warrior.

No puedo encontrar el significado de NOIVE.

Por fonética deduzco que fue un error del que redactó el guión y la palabra correcta es KNIFE.

Ahora cuál sería el significado de "He's got some knife" en este contexto?

Es la parte final del capítulo cuando uno de los personajes, el rey de los ladrones, le dice a la protagonista que ella es la segunda mejor ladrona del mundo.
Cuando su amiga le pregunta qué se siente ser una ladrona, ella contesta la frase en cuestión.

"noive" I believe is attempting to portray an accent of some type.
