Knowledge implies not just the knowledge of how something might be done but also some sort of practical or working knowledge in how it is done through practice and experience gained from that practice. Knowledge of locks, for example, not only implies that a character has “read up” on how a lock functions, but also implies experience in building and/or picking locks.
