What it means

An axe chopping wood makes noise that draws people to it, but a knife cutting makes no sound unless someone is told. A person who cannot keep a secret is not invited to things done in private, and only gets to share in what is done openly.

Word for word

If you talk too loud and too much, you will (only) eat something cut with an axe but not with a knife.
