Is it possible to ready an action to attack with the kineticist's kinetic blade? If so, when does the blade end and am I allowed to threaten with it?

Normally a ranged kineticist but wanted to help the party out a little in melee, but the kinetic blade just seems kinda bad that I'm unable to help flank with it.

My friend and I had an argument because he believes that bluff is essentially mind control(though he gave it fancy names like deception). He also believes that since he failed his sense motive check he should believe everything that is told to him.

I would like to know if I'm wrong in thinking contrary to that? Cause as RAW is, apart from lies that are totally out of the realm of possibility where the GM can just say no, are the NPCs and PCs themselves forced to act on a high bluff check or failed sense motive?
