- En la cultura mexica, Técpatl era un cuchillo de pedernal hecho de obsidiana o sílex, de figura lanceolada, con hoja de doble filo, con extremos alargados, terminando ambos en punta redondeada o bien uno en punta y el otro achatado. Puede estar representado con la mitad superior de color rojo, que recuerda el color de la sangre, en representaciones de sacrificios humanos y el resto de color blanco, indicando que es el sílex de la navaja misma. El Técpatl era tradicionalmente un cuchillo para sacrificios humanos utilizado por los mexicas, pero también, era el arma de corto alcance de los guerreros jaguar, a pesar de que sólo pudo haber tenido un uso limitado contra sus enemigos en el campo de batalla. Los bordes afilados del técpatl, lo convirtieron en un arma eficaz. . (es)
- In the Aztec culture, a tecpatl was a flint or obsidian knife with a lanceolate figure and double-edged blade, with elongated ends. Both ends could be rounded or pointed, but other designs were made with a blade attached to a handle. It can be represented with the top half red, reminiscent of the color of blood, in representations of human sacrifice and the rest white, indicating the color of the flint blade. It was the sign of the eighteenth day, the twentieth day of the month of the Aztec calendar and the beginning of one of the twenty trecenas of the tonalpohualli. The Tecpatl knife was traditionally used for human sacrifice by the Aztecs, but it also was the short-range weapon of the jaguar warriors. Although it may have seen only limited use on the battlefield, its sharp edges would have made it an effective sidearm. (en)
