Not unless you have years of training in very specific martial art styles (mostly military-derived or HEMA). And even then you wouldn't intentionally do it.

Unlike drunken pub fights, Group Streetfights tend to have a lot of grappling and unlike swords and other weapons knives don't give you the reach to disengage, so you're just adding a spinny random blade to your wrestling match.

If you must carry a weapon (and unless things are really kicking off into revolution you don't), a stout stick or staff is hard to beat.
