Question

The is a saying or motto on the blade of an old Mexican knife. It reads as follows El valiente que me ataje, lo maudo aun largo viaje.

Answer 1

Welcome to the site

I had to look up atajar, being a native,,as in Spain this made not much sense.

However I just found this:

1. to catch (agarrar) (Am)

So in America it is used as to take, sounds weird to me, but anyway.,

The brave (guy) who takes me (by the blade), I will send on a long trip.

El valiente que me ataje, lo mando a un largo viaje.
