Doesn't it go ultimately back to Indo-Iranian, which
has also the related verb 'cut'?

Ossetic has kard "knife, sword", and kærdyn "cut".
Pahlavi and N. Persian have kârd "knife". Sanskrit
has kart- "to cut, cut in pieces, cut off, divide",
and kartari- "scissors, a knife, or any instrument
for cutting".
