That would make a neat addition...but already out of my price range 
!
Xander,
Eye slits, armpits, behind elbows/knees, between faulds, through thin plate...it's all fair game
. The rondels give a really good grip for a powerful thrust/stab. I would imagine when grappling you'd shove until it found something to "catch on" like holes, openings, ridges, etc. Otherwise, you could beat someone to the ground and shove it through whatever opening was handy. Eyeslits would certainly be a good choice. I've driven some of my blades through 14 ga mild steel...but given a choice, I'd much rather push it through a squishy eyeball!
