Pocket knife cleaver

[Guylee]

I've been seeing these knives all over IG and find myself asking over and over again...what's the point? (pun intended)

They look cool and I'm sure they're useful...but at the prices I'm seeing them for, what advantage do they offer over a regular blade? They're not big and heavy enough to actually cleave stuff with (maybe some are, but most I see are only 2 or 3 inches long), which in my mind just makes them chunks of steel with one flat sharpened edge. Don't seem to be good for much more than opening boxes, IMO. What am I missing?

Nothing from what I can see.
