Toshiro Mifune was out of this world, when it comes to actors with swords. Nothing til today beats him.
I have around 20 Kurosawa films on my shelf. :)
Favorite director for sure.
 
Not knives, but swords in The Duellists. That's an old Ridley Scott film, may be his first major picture with Harvey Keitel and Keith Carradine. The movie is punctuated by 4 or 5 vicious sword duels between the main characters. Very realistic and not pretty at all. Then there's a scene that sticks with me from Cider House Rules where a worker pulls possibly a razor on a guy and slashes at his rain coat to make a point. The coat just opens up and the action is very fluid and fast. There was no fight but just that action.
 
I think no one has posted this, so check out Ryuhei Kitamura's Versus (2000). Interesting knife fight scene, moreso the fact that because they didn't have a big budget those weren't fake knives being used.

Crying Freeman
Brotherhood of the Wolf
Spartacus: Gods of the Arena, Blood on the Sands
Rome
The Patriot
Last of the Mohicans

Though the knife fight in Saving Private Ryan where Melish gets stabbed with his own bayonet is the most creepiest by far.

Not to sound like a wisecrack, but how would a different model knife have changed the outcome. Seems from the scene that the fella with the Kershaw Blur was a better fighter overall.

its not its a legitimate question. The derespina is 154cm (unless you request another steel) and double edged. Same shape as the AUS8 single edge of the cold steel tiger. That vietnamese guy with the tiger knew how to use it and knew advanced techniques and even incorporated flips. in some scenes if he could have done a flip on the return the back edge of it would have done cuts. in one case he could have hit the wrist. A single edge Karambit has a lot of techniques that you cannot do with a double edges (controls throws blocks etc) but the double edge gives up defense for a whole extra set of offensive strikes. I would NEVER recommend using a double edge karambit unless you know what your doing. but if he has the Derespina karambit, with what he aknew about karambits he could have got a lot of important strikes in. Because with a double edged karambit, you can go on a faster offensive with more versatile strikes. He could have defended with a double edge as well but I am not sure what would happen with the blade on blade thing. my main point for saying that was the scene where he defended with a flip to the hand to knock it back a bit
the blade would have caused a massive advantage. still a great movie though. Oddly enough the vietnamese guy (the bad guy) was actually secretly a nice person

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I really need to check that show out. Looked interesting enough if not a bit strange for the eyes in a jar. I never got the hang of karambits and managed to only stick myself a few times trying to "spin" it.

don't learn to spin on a live karambit. also, you have to be able to stop it at every angle. you dont want uncontrolled spins. you have to be able to change angle at anytime. thats why when you see people display a karambit

(picture of my trainer in the posistion)
many hold out like this. You have to be able to control the spin. if you cant control the spin your risking a lot of important (cant remember names but they are like viens?) with the point and the back edge.
 
While Repo Men may not be the best, I am amused when one of the Repo men pulls a cleaver out of his repo-ing case for the fight

That scene just freaked me out!!!! I kept screaming inside for him to twist/roll out from under - to use his legs - to do *SOMETHING* as the Nazi soldier kept whispering "shhhh shhhhh shhhhh" and the knife went into his chest. ARRGHHH!!!
 
This isn't exactly a knife fight nor a movie but it makes me giggle every time I see it...

Check out the movie Sinners and Saints. It has a good knife fight scene, and plenty of amazing gun fights. It's well worth the watch.

Here's a video of some of the knife training Johnny Strong did for the movie. He also makes knives, too.

And here's some firearms training as a bonus.

I'll see if I can get a digital copy of the movie and upload that scene to youtube.

Choreographed by Jeff Imada, the asian guy you see flipping a balisong in movies like "Big Trouble in Little China" and "Lethal Weapon 4".

Choreographed by the William Hobbs, the same guy who did "Rob Roy" and the Michael York "Three Musketeers", rare examples of realistic swordfighting in movies.
