If you are talking about a dagger-like knife, then you can say "punal". If you are talking about a knife you would use in the kitchen, then you could say "Cuchillo".
Because the Knife was created before the Fork.
An object's function is not a physical property, it is an abstraction. When we say that something has a particular function we are saying what use we intend to make of that object. It is our thought, it is not an inherent property of the object. Let us say for example that I own a knife. Its function is to chop vegetables, since that is what I do with it. However, another person might say that the function of that knife is to cut the throat of his enemies, because that is what he intends to do with it. Another person might say that its function is to carve wood. Its actual physical properties include a sharp edge. The sharp edge is a property, but the use to which that sharp edge is put depends upon the object's owner.
Russian for "knife" is нож, pronounced nosh.
Edge = Ka'e
a knife = un couteau (pronounce coo-toe)
The spoon is der Löffel in German.
nojh..............нож
Don't cut me!
Because a knife's ability to perform knife-like tasks is directly related to its sharpness. An attempt to accomplish the desired knife task using a dull knife is doomed, and can lead to naught but failure and disappointment. Whether the task is a slice, a dice, a pare, chop, fillet, or a butterfly, whether in the sense of the noun or the verb, the assurance of success must vary directly as the edge on the tool. The chef who skips the sharpening step and yet expects to cut through the job as would a hot knife through butter is a dull chef indeed, and clearly not the "sharpest knife in the culinary drawer" as they say.
