Default Multi-blade daggers

I do not have a picture handy, but we all know these katars with "opening" blades or persian khandjars that separate into 3 or more blades at the end.
You know what I mean.
I have a strong suspicion that these implements have nothing to do with real fighting use. Their construction absolutely prevents stabbing and, largely, slashing as well. They are, IMHO, bazaar creations for European tourists.
Am I wrong?
