while I might the criteria we may use in selecting a knife may include the suitability as use for weapon. Its primarry use is as a tool much like a screwdriver which may also be used as a deadly weapon.
Seriously, a pocket knife can be used as a weapon but should only be used as a last resort. Knife fights are messy, close range and difficult. Most would be better served by using it as a striking apparatus rather than a cutting or stabbing device. I once read in edged weapon tactics paper that in a knife fight you will be cut.
A pocket knife is an invaluable tool that I carry all the time, its uses run from the everyday box opening to emergency situations such as cutting seat belts, ropes etc.
