mai gave azula her knife in DoBS.
I like to think that the knife Azula pulls out in DoBS was given to her by Mai because Mai was genuinely worried about her friend and wanted her to be extra protected after realizing what Azula was planning.
Perhaps she was thinking, "You're going to be up against the Avatar's group without your bending, at least have a weapon on you if things go south."
I know this is more of an unconventional take because it's a common opinion that Azula simply stole/took the knife from Mai's inventory but I like to think that the trio had a more nuanced and stronger friendship where actions were demonstrated more than words of affirmation.
