Would you slit an attacker's throat?
Yes, but that's pretty near the last thing I would want to do.
My story is nowhere as cool as Otony's and I never had to make contact, but I did use a fixed blade Gerber to chase some little brown folk off from a US asset once. Apparently they thought the guns weren't real, or more likely, they figured no one was really going to fire on them just yet (true). Apparently they were fully convinced I really would stab them and ran away on their short little legs.
When Rob collected knives to send overseas for the troops way back when, I sent that very Gerber. I put my name and address in the sheath and asked whoever got it to contact me. Never heard a word, and I have often hoped they got through everything OK.
