"Mi cabo de plata"
Hola, in Borges's "LA PROMESA" I'm confused with the phrase "mi cabo de plata" in:
—Para usted, gracias, y mi cabo de plata para Ribera. I guess it means "my money" but I'm not sure. Can anyone help me to clarify this? Gracias!

A "cabo de plata" is a kind of knife. Clemente Garay is threatening to kill Ribera, who wanted to let him die.
