I have carried a 1911 and or a BHP (CCW) for 16 years. I usually carry some type of pocketknife. Can someone please explain to me the use of a "tactical" knife? If you can't kill someone with a pistol, I guess you will pull out the trusty tactical folder and finish the job that the gun you were carrying wasn't up to the task for. Is this a joke? (Marketing concept maybe)

Usually some form of 1911. Either a Kimber Classic Stainless, Stainless Ultra Carry, or now a Springfield Armory Ultra Compact 9mm.
Ammunition is Winchester White Box in .45/230 or 9/147. I always carry at least one spare magazine.
Today I'll carry the UC9, since the Ultra Carry is at the 'smith having night sights and an ambi-safety installed.

Allan,
I can't speak for everyone, but the reasons I carry a knife are very simple.
It's very difficult, way too loud, dangerous and I have to assume painful, to clean my fingernails with a .45 ACP...
Not very tactical I know, but effective none the less.

No covering garment: Kel-Tec P3AT - right front pants pocket.
With covering garment: Kimber Ultra Shadow Lim. Ed. II in Milt Sparks Yaqui BS [Soon to change to: Wilson KZ-45 Compact], with Kershaw 4" folder.
Some past choices, in chronological order: Glock 27, Glock 29, Glock 30, Kel-Tec P32, Wilson KZ-45 full-sized (Hmm, guess I like tupperware, though my favorite pistol is non-carry and all steel, a Springfield Loaded V16 longslide).

When it's too hard to conceal that, I go pocket carry with this:

Sig 232 .380, Federal Hydra-Shock 7+1 in a Bianchi IWB S3 Holster.
Nice Impliments, guys!!!!!
On duty:
ParaOrd C7.45 Companion, 4 extra Wilson mags 230 Ranger Plus-P
Bianchi Accumold holster, Uncle Mikes pouch
Camillus 5.5 Cuda, ASP Baton, Pepper Spray
Off duty
Customized Colt LW Officer's, 2 spare mags, same ammo
OLD Bianchi pistol pocket, or belt slide(awaiting arrival of Sparks VM2H)
Cuda
I have an old Chief's special that I carry for back up in pocket rig.
Sometimes use aforementioned Officer's model as backup instead.
Looking at Kahr PM9 to replace Chiefs as pocket blaster.
Answer to Allan's question.....
Blade is a back up carried opposite pistol as an aid in weapons retention, should someone get that close. You never want them that close, but it can and does happen! Actually had an idiot guest grab for mine in a crowd at a hotel where I work...he got a elbow in the solar plexus and was somewhat amazed to see over five inches of cold steel pointing at his throat as he tried to catch his breath. He said..it was just a joke...I said....'real funny, ya think?' Doubt he'll try that stupid caca again!
Also useful as an emergency prybar, cutting seat belts, boxes, etc.
A Protection Specialist I know likes his Tanto for close work in crowds..using the butt as an impact tool...edge handy, if required....he said it does not stampede the sheep as much
