Speaking as someone who has had real world knife defense training... On Tyrith's point on grabbing a person attacking with a knife, where you grab is critical. And you always want both of your hands on their hand to control the knife from being twisted around like you said. First contact point is made with your off hand and is only an index point so you can make sure you get your main hand on their hand, you instantly transfer your off hand to their hand also, and you absolutely have to be lightning fast. In my training we did resistance practice, IE our attacker was actually trying. My friend who was my practice partner was basically twice my size and strength. If I was able to get a grip on his knife hand correctly I could come out with out getting hurt. IE I would not have been cut with a real knife. But that was only 1 out of 10. The other 9 times I would have been cut for sure. (Once and only once he tried to just muscle his way to stab me, then switch to trying to throw me when I moved off center of his force, but he way the one who ended up getting thrown, he landed with me moving right with his fall and his knife still in his hand but under my control and right at his throat... But that's pretty much not going to happen in real life) Number one thing our instructors drilled into us was. If you can run, you RUN! Only an idiot willingly joins a knife fight even if you have your own knife and know how to use it!! Second your not going to get out of a knife fight with out getting hurt!! (One of our instructors had personal knife fight experience... IE he has stabbed in the back during a bar fight he got caught in) The only time you would want to ever try to fight someone attacking you with a knife is if you have no better choice. You are then most likely sacrificing your hand or forearm getting hurt bad instead of your vital areas.
