   What is the English of the Filipino phrase “kapit sa patalim”? It should translate the context & meaning behind it.

   The closest I learnt (from a #Kdrama) is “A drowning man will grasp at straws”. Other suggestions?

     Yeah, that one fits.

     “A desperate person will hold even a knife's edge.”

     Or,

     “Is it time to hold a knife-edge?”

     Maybe "on a knife-edge"? it's not strictly an idiomatic expression.
