I doubt that the octagonal shape has any particular purpose, other than the flats make for a more efficient hammer.

The hex pommel came from the design Marbles submitted to the DOD for the Jet Pilot's Knife.
The Navy adopted Marble's design and then awarded the contract to Camillus.
I suspect the pommel was to break the canopy if you and the canopy both survived the crash intact.
