Don't know a specific answer but here are my thoughts:

A back blade that is sharpened creates a cleaner "stabbing" point along with more "styles" (cuts/slashes/etc) to use if you are familiar with knife fighting techniques. However, the sharpened back blade is useless (in my opinion) without the blood lets in the body of the knife.
