Just a thought:

Could the point be designed to pierce thick leather protection. The point would surely penetrate fairly easily,(causing a 'starter hole' in the leather) as the blade is further thrust inwards the 'splayed' section would then 'open' up the hole previously made by the point and cause a larger, perhaps more lethal wound to the victim. The puncture wound from a very narrow, pointed blade would tend to close up when withdrawn, limiting blood loss/ damage to the opponent.
