On the law enforcement side of things, I carry a conventional knife where I can access it if taken to the ground and about to be subject to a "ground and pound" sort of beating by an opponent with a stable position on top of me. Having that same knife being a fight stopper if jabbed into an abdomen or thigh (assuming the overpressure would blow out the femoral artery even if it was missed by the blade) would be a really nice piece of kit.
Of course for law enforcement, it would also probably be considered illegal as hell and a surefire recipe for a civil lawsuit even if you weren't criminally responsible for its use.
For a guy downrange doing CQB against enemy combatants, though, this would be a lovely addition to a heavy assault kit.
