I thought about that. And maybe thats why Jacob can still talk to Hurley, because he's not all the way dead. Maybe if he stabbed him with the actual knife, Jacob wouldn't be able to communicate.
As far as Locke monster not dying, he didn't have a body, he's a smoke monster illusion, so the knife wouldn't have any effect.
But it was interesting that both sides didn't want to give their enemy the chance to talk. They don't want the chance of free will based on what Jacob or Smokey say.
