| | English translation:fwitt | Explanation:
Obviously, there can't be a real sound in raising a knife (unless the character(s) are slashing samurai swords or other type of sword/knife-type weapon in a rapid, mad fight.)
"Fwitt" just gives the impression of the sound/movement of a knife being raised. |
