Real life knife fighting is a dirty, horribnle confrontation that can end with both fighters loosing blood, and possibly dying very easily. The best thing you can do in a knife fight is run, the next best thing is to find an equalizer (another knife, a club, a chair, barstool, book, anything! Lastly you fight.
Do not think that even for a minute you can block that knife, then make a counter. You will likely get cut apart. The Best thing is to "defang the snake" while still at the longest possible range. This is the range where your opponent cannot hit your body with his blade, but you can still strike at the weapon arm. Practice striking or cutting that arm, while still at a "safe" range". If you want to know about real life knife tactics, check out Paul Vanuk on youtube, he does know what he's doing.
