Most modal operators like the knife tool have their instruction text in the status bar, instead of the 3D view header. Moving it here would improve UX consistency, add slightly more text space, and more "out of the way" from the rest of the UI.

Unfortunately add-ons cannot utilize icons like the built-in modal operators do. Hopefully that gets exposed in future Blender versions.

Might be best to first add a toggle in the preferences, where status bar is set as the new default. Then users can set it to the 3D view header if they prefer.
