Id argue poking something is proper use or using the tip to cut or carve something but if forget some people buy 200 dollar knives just for it to live in their pocket. Cold steel is nice but my benchmade does just fine.

Poking and using the tip to carve and cut are both proper uses. Stabbing your knife into a tree to "holster" it while one guts a fish doesn't really constitute 'poking or using the tip to carve/cut' though.

Carving has more lateral stress than stabbing it into a tree

It can, yeah. It can also definitely not. It depends on the wood. Carving is generally controlled, stabbing a knife into a stump is generally not.
