No not effective. You have to be a really good fighter to make the difference with that in _real_ fight. In push and shove match, sure, in real rumble, better just forget it.
Also, if you are going to bring small 'blade', better accept that the opponent might then grab something bigger and use that.
If you are going to use that in a fight, you have to use it as a surprise weapon, concealing it first, making the first move by moving in fast and stabbing your opponent in the stomach fast as many times as you can and flee.
I just can't see any realistic use for it, sorry.
Basically, if you carry a knife, carry a good one then. That's like carrying a replica that doesn't even look too real. Might be more dangerous to you in the end.
Only way to use it is conceal it and surprise in flurry.

I have a lanyard that I carry in my hand while I walk to work already. I wrap the lanyard around my hand and keep the keys palmed. I figured I could keep a small kinfe in my palm instead of the keys it would make a more effective weapon, because then I could slash, stab, or choke instead of just choking.

You're more likely to have it knocked out of your hand, then have it used to cut your throat, put your eyes out, or for someone to carve some memorable (to you, at least, every time you look in the mirror) saying into your skin.
You don't need a big knife for a fighting knife - as Bull Simon used to say, what the **** are you going to do with it, sharpen it when it sticks out the other end?
You do need a proper size and fitted handgrip, and proper weight and balance of the overall knife. That means those little keychain boxcutters, or their big brothers at Home Depot, are out. The big brother versions can be effective against an idiot, but if you have to escalate against anyone with decent experience, or just too much size, strength and aggression for both of your good, then you'll have some serious trouble once your arm is broken and/or torn out of its socket.
I personally prefer Mad Dog's fighting knives for something smaller than an Ang Khola, but currently Mad Dog takes months to produce stuff and he doesn't give a damn, because he knows the waiting list for his hardware is a mile long.

Space, seriously, drop the blade or get a decent one. My suggestion is you drop it all together... there's something about dudes getting hurt who carry weapons of any kind more than the dudes who don't carry anything.
If it's for purely self defense, why not go whole 9 yards then? If you carry blade of any kind, then carry the best kind. If you get into knife fight, you don't want to be hanging on to a keychain. Then again, if you face a gun, that's it. Other people might conceal weapons too, so when you draw yours, they might draw a gun on you. I would draw a gun on someone who pulls a knife on me, if I had one.
Seriously man, in here, people carry knives, but they also use them. There's no ifs buts and ands, if you carry one and expose it, you're getting into something else.
If you are however going to carry one, get a real fighting knife, or switch blade. And LEARN how to use them or you end up hurting yourself. What you want to do with a knife, there are few fundamental things. Against gun there really is no set of rules if you carry a knife, since the only rule is stay away of line of fire which can be done close range only. And even then you should practice it A LOT and not check out a series of pics from some book, you will fail if it's not coming from your backbone.
Facing another knife, fundamentals are to not lose your knife, and to rather stick than cut. Again, stay out of the line of the knife movement, especially if stick. Keep distance. IN gun fight you want to be close (if you are unarmed and can't escape), with knives, you don't want to be close. Also if you are unexperienced, the best chance you have is countering.
If you are facing someone without gun and knife and you have the knife, the only fundamental rule is not to lose yours, because if you lose your knife, you'll get stabbed with it for sure.
Remember, you have to train knife fighting to be able to do it. It's simple, but not that simple. If you have to remember only few things and you can't train in knife fighting, then those should be that never lose your knife, and stay out of the range.
But I'd say in general if you carry a knife, bigger odds are you'll get hurt.

. Just walk away.
The simple fact is that I walk a lot around here. One day something will happen, its just a matter of when.
Yes I like the sound of that.
