if you had a knife

[Hieronim]

If you know how to use a knife the person would never see it. Only people who are scarred will flash the knife, this is a tatic to get you on the defense scarred afraid of you and for thenm to run, nothing more.

If you do have a knife and plan to use it you would palm it, stick or slash and run, anything else is fantasy land.

but he might see you coming toward him without the knife first though and posture up ready for you so youd have tof lash it beofore getting to him.
