If this is a modern fantasy, carrying a knife is unusual, and

The knife I always carry would be quite useful in a fight -- if I had
time to unfold it. One would have to be very highly skilled to use it
as a murder weapon, but even panicky random pokes with a two- or
three-inch blade could make someone let go.


The knife I carry could probably be a useful weapon without unfolding
it.

By which I assume you mean it would work as well as a roll of quarters?
