If a string is vibrating in three segments, are there any places one can touch it with a knife blade without disturbing the motion?

yes, there exists a point which does not move as the transverse waves pass, called nodal point, it is where all waves cancel or pass through without moving any particles. it would be found in the area separating the 3 segments
-
Theoretically yes, if the wave is standing and you touch it at the fixed end/ends of the string.

I think so, I do it with my guitars all the time. 5th 7th and 12th frets.
-
the string theory is not as most proprle thing its not a flat line its actully a time loop a continus loop of the same time code floting thrue space with other time codes
-
yes, these are points along the string where the vibration pattern calls for a "frozen" spot. these points are called nodes.
