To be completely honest with you, Id rather get in a gun fight than a knife fight. Knife fights require so much more skill if you are going to come out unscathed. Im pretty good with a gun, but with a knife... well... IDK. I personally wouldnt carry a knife for self defense, becuase if the other person has a gun, you are basically fucked. Dont bring a knife to what could be a gun fight.
EDIT: As far as facing an unarmed suspect, I would NOT pull a knife. If they overpower you and get a hold of it then god only knows what will happen. Id rather just possibly take a beating than risk having my knife taken and get killed with it. Now if you get some training with it, then that is completely different. I do some high stress shooting drills which I know is nothing compared to the real thing, but its something.
