I also saw it as a way to lock their sword for a few seconds. Uncertain how it works in the real world/historically, but in my head, I see it as locking, pulling them in then a quick knife to the throat.
You would use it with a main sword or cudgel/mace not a second dagger since the sword breaker is a type of parrying dagger.
