Oh. That makes more sense.
My plan, should running or negotiation become pointless, is to grab the knife arm with both hands. At this point, one of two things will happen if he doesn't react on the instant. 1) I'll break his arm 2) I'll disarm the knife on his leg.
Which comes first depends on both the situation and the point at which I intercept his arm. If the disarm doesn't work immediately, this will go bad for him. I'll break the arm and slam his head into the ground. I will then stomp him repeatedly while looking around for his friends until he isn't moving anymore.
Of course, this assumes that I realize he has a knife. This isn't a problem. I assume everyone walks around with knives, because that was how things were where I grew up. It wasn't a particularly violent place, but that's just what folks did. As far as I'm concerned, everyone has a knife, and I expect to break their arm if I can seize it.
I like to seize the arm to confirm whether they have a knife in fact. Grabbing a limb gives you time.
