After throwing the new style knife that comes with take out meals from Ponderosa (at the sack the meal came in) for a few hours, I've come up with a couple of improvements to the design you might want to try for yourselves. The new knives seem to be made from quality PVC (possibly a domestic polymer blend) and after regrinding the tip with a nail file to a modified spear point and scotch taping a dime on either side of the blade (3/4 inch from the tip), I found that not only would it penetrate the sack, but will do an admirable job on the styrofoam meal box from eight feet away. Pretty impressive for a production plastiknife. I think they might have ripped off the famous Wendy's design for the clear sack they come in, but hey, that's for the lawyers to straighten out isn't it? I've found that six of these puppies will fit in my Mora sheath and I'm thinking that should be enough for any situation you might get into at the mall. I think a potential attacker would probably flinch pretty good when that first one hit, and somewhere between the fourth and fifth one that caught him square he'd start laughing. This of course would give me the opportunity to blow his head off with my model 19 Smith. Sure they don't weigh eight pounds and look like they can fly, but like they say "It's not the size of the knife in the fight, it's the 125 grain silvertip"
