Translation:
The home that has a file, has no blunt knives
Postproverbial:
Mũciĩ ũrĩ inooro, nĩũrĩ tũhiu na ibanga
Translation:
A home that has a file has knives and pangas
Comments:
The significant factor is where the file would be found is only where there are knives and pangas to sharpen. This is rather liminal compared to the philosophical original proverb where the effect and presence of the file are felt
