The howtofightwrite tumblr has a post about writing a knife fight and the dos and don'ts.
In fact, it contains a good deal of commonsense advice on the knife as a weapon. Go over and read the whole thing.
I gave my oldest granddaughter a pretty little assisted-opening knife to carry in her purse. I explained to her some of the same information the Tumblr writer conveys. The knife is a short-range ambush weapon. It works well in tight quarters. It works best if an assailant does not know the intended victim has such a weapon until it starts to do damage.
A knife-wielder does not need a great deal of skill beyond knowing those rudimentary guidelines. As the writer says, "The basic principle of the knife is incredibly simple: You're gonna shank a dude."
It's still a martial art.
