Poetry & Literature
No se leía más porque, una vez recuperada, la señora se negó a dar explicaciones. No quiso decirles a los periodistas que un muchacho de la edad de su hijo, el tercero, demacrado, bañado en sudor y tembloroso, la había abordado, le había puesto un puñal a la altura del abdomen y le había dicho entre ahogos “doña... tengo dos días de no hacerle a la piedra...” Mientras le apretaba el cuello del vestido y le hacía presión con el canto del puñal.

This is called the spine of the knife, but you'll practically never hear or read it expressed this way. I would call it the dull side of the knife/dagger. I would not call it the top side, as this can be unclear.
