Answer

Are small thefts in Mallorca really dangerous if a knife is involved?

Yes. Even a minor theft can become dangerous very quickly once a bladed weapon appears, because the risk to staff and customers rises immediately. In Mallorca, incidents like this show that the value of the stolen goods matters less than the threat created during the confrontation.
