All good ones! Wish I could remember the name of the horror movie with little ralphie in it. That guy with the buck 110 was creepy as hell. :-)

I'd have to say Sanji from the anime One Piece. Mind, he never uses them outside of his work as a chef, but he's definitely my favorite.
 
Damian Lewis in Life. It was a tragedy when this show got cancelled, but he's moved on to Homeland. He plays Charlie Crews, a detective released from prison after serving twelve years for a crime he did not commit. In prison he developed an affinity for blades, he instinctively goes for it after spending twelve years in prison. Here he is threatening a suspect with a stainless steel Spyderco Police:

There is another scene when he is tussling with a suspect who sneers at his gun but becomes very very still when Crews puts a knife to his throat, as in he knows a police officer won't shoot him for resisting arrest but one who pulls a knife on you is nuts enough to use it. The use of knives is pretty regular throughout the show.
 
If we are discussing knives on TV, we can go waaaaaay back (even further back than MacGyver: We need to mention Jim Bowie (...his blade was tempered and so was he - indestructible steel was he) and Cheyenne Bodie (I never saw him use it, but he always had a large bowie knife on the left side of his gunbelt).

I know this dates me. Please remember that I saw these shows when I was very young. :cool:
