can the blade be sharpened or replaced?

Although I haven't had a need to sharpen the blade, I think it can be done. The blade does not look like it can be replaced. It is fused to the handle.

Could this be an effective self defense knife?

It is made to be a marking / carving knife for carpentry and woodworking. It could be effective for self defense because it is very thin and could be hidden easily.
