Hey there!

An element which is soft and can be cut easily with a knife is SODIUM Or POTASSIUM.

These metals are very reactive and cannot be kept open in d air. Thus they are found in combined state.

They are kept with kerosene oil in order to prevent any sort of explosion due to their reactive nature.
