It's good logic to have a weapon available on your off hand, but really IMO for when/if your primary hand/weapon is disabled.
If someone is 'going for your' gun, you'd better be able to focus 100% of your effort to securing your gun. Going for a 3" folder means you may lose if the person secures your gun. A 3" folder, while dangerous, is not typically immediately lethal and sacrificing your gun in favor of your folder with your off hand might be a costly mistake.
So, first, you should have enough situational awareness to not have someone 'go for your gun.' Concealed guns should be concealed. Open carry, well, you must increase your situational awareness even greater.
Next, if someone is grabbing for it, you need to fight, elbow, and roll away and wrestle. For instance, a throat punch or elbow to your assailants face or eye gouges NOW is likely more effective than a stab/slash a second or two later with a puny folder Kershaw... and after he has your gun. However... I will say that if you are the type who can instantly draw and flick open a knife, then putting that in someone's throat or chest might end the assault too...
If you are standing, learning some simple judo hip throws or leg sweeps will effectively drop non-trained people. And a fall for an untrained person can easily end a fight because falls onto concrete tend to break/dislocate bones and joints.
So personally, if your space is invaded, strike hard and fast to his throat/face and while rolling away and defending your sidearm.
