I think the intention would be to use the threat of death (for which that tooth was sufficient) to make a retreat after getting her information. She's more than capable of escaping him once she knows what she needs.

Maybe the other edge would have prevented him getting away (much smaller, even accidental movement could kill him in that case), but I think it's possible she didn't know that his cane was his weapon, otherwise she would have had him drop it.
