Your memory is a bit faulty; they didn't say the wound was made by a similar knife, they said police found the body with the knife sticking out of it.
If I remember correctly, it was supposed to be a very distinct-looking switchbade that belonged to the son. However, he claimed that it wasn't his knife and that he had lost his through a hole in his pocket. The whole point of this bit of circumstantial evidence was that it must have been the kid's knife because it was so unique. Henry Fonda blew this out of the water by finding and purchasing an identical knife in some store.
