EN: blade; a sharp weapon
It's not just a knife, it's *the blade*. It’s the sharp, dangerous part. `Patalim` has a more serious, often threatening, vibe than a simple `kutsilyo`. It’s the weapon of choice in action movies, the subject of dramatic OPM songs ("kapit sa patalim"), and the general term for anything that can cut you deep, literally or figuratively.
From `pa-` + `talim` (sharp edge, blade).
Carries a stronger, more intense connotation than "kutsilyo" (knife) or "talim" (blade edge). It often implies a weapon.
