An idiom meaning every cute thing has a threatening side. Originates from images of a plush duckie holding a toy knife with a soulless expression. Similar to the related idiom "every rose has its thorns."
Although the small, adorable Talyssa is usually kind, she definitely has a feisty side, too. Every duck has its knife.
