So I'm using the knife tool in AI CC to make some shading on an illustration I'm working on, but it gets too "choppy". I work with a mouse, so I just drag the cursor where I want to cut the shape. As I mentioned, the cut gets too choppy, it's not a smooth cut. Is there a setting so that Illustrator just smoothens the cut if my hand shakes a lot, like the brush settings? Or do you think it would be easier with a tablet, so I could just draw the cut?

I've noticed the knife tool is extra choppy when it has a smaller number of pixels to cut around. You could try scaling up your artwork temporarily for smoother cuts.
No not that I'm aware of. If you dont like results you get out of knife use another tool instead.
For example you can use line tool () and Object → Path → Divide Objects Below combo. This is not too much work if you set a hotkey for divide objects below.
Other workflows are possible, such as a line and shape builder etc.
