Wearing a necklace with a knife for self defense

Q: Can I wear a necklace containing a knife for self defense?

A: Necklaces are worn by women as an adornment. Hence, you should refrain from wearing a necklace. If you wish, you may keep the knife in your pocket.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
