The knife project tool cuts a mesh by projecting a curve along the view axis. Is it possible to do the same thing using the normals of the curve instead? Imagine engraving text onto a mesh modeling a ring worn on your finger.

I don't think the knife tool specifically has the ability to project from a curve. A suggestion would be to first use a curve modifier and fit your mesh to the shape you want. Then project your knife cut onto the object. I used a circle to curve my mesh. check fit of curve modifierproject knife onto meshring with text
