Viggo Mortensen vs. Russian Gangster in Eastern Promises. Features a knife fight you don't see every day in the movies. :eek: ;)

The V For Vendetta scenes are way up there.

The stylised machete vs wasteland bandits fight under the bridge in Book Of Eli.

The pen vs push knife fight in the Bourne Identity.
 
It's more of an arthouse offering, and not a very good movie, but I always liked watching Tcheky Karyo burning Peter Coyote with a lit cigar in the knife training montage of Exposure. It is also amusing contrasting the elegant training sequences against the final battle of "Oh BLEEP, I'm gonna get stabbed if I don't start swinging!"

Hell yea! Linoleum knives! One of the most realistic knife scenes IMO! Not a lot of flash and fancy moves, just slashing and hacking with a $3.99 knife
 
You guys are coming up with some awesome scenes! The crocodile Dundee scene is an absolutel classic!
 
Steve McQueen hopping from stall to stall in the cattle pen gunfight-to-knifefight scene from "Nevada Smith". Not overtly bloody or violent but a solid classic.
 
I Saw The Devil. One of my all-time favorite suspense movies. This scene is brutally believable.

Saving Private Ryan.....the moment the german gains control of the knife and shushes the GI as he plunges into his chest just seems too real
 
Alan Ladd as Jim Bowie in the Iron Mistress where the face off is between Bowie and the New Orleans aristocrat who is using a sword in the beer hall. Bowie faces him with his blade and the aristocrat uses his sword as the aristocrat will not dishonor the "code of the duel" by using a knife.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOQ5yAahwr8

I'm also inclined to go with the Peter Coyote posting.. The exposure knife training was choreographed by Chris Kent of the Inosanto clan
 
"The Cider House Rules".

No joke, there's a knife fight in that movie. The senior migrant worker (Delroy Lindo) at an apple orchard get's into a dispute with an underling, and a knife fight ensues.

It's brief, and no one dies, but it's interesting how they resolve their issues with knives, and how the older guy is feared for what must be a lot of experience with knife fighting.

I like Lindo's lines and the way the tension of the scene builds before the knives come out- "What business am I in? I'm in the knife business Jack! And you don't want to be in any kind of knife business with me!"
