I'm starting to see the knifer POV also, but I'll still stick with bat.
Knifers - did you watch the youtube vid? What would you do differently as the knifer? (I admit the knifer could have put on a much better display.) I think one thing is clear though: the raw fear when seeing a dude swinging wildly at you is enough to make you think twice about sticking around with a knife. Average joes can't control this aspect as well as seasoned fighters.

I agree, the bat is very intimidating (one of its strengths as a weapon), but if the fight is to be to the death, and I'm assuming both combatants know this going in to the fight, I imagine that adrenaline, etc would compensate largely for the fear factor.
I also am beginning to think that experience plays a huge role here... I mean two people who've never been in any sort of fight before, probably advantage bat. As the skill of the two increases I think the advantage shifts further and further towards the knife.
With the correct strategy though (getting in close as quickly as possible) I think the knife is extremely difficult to beat in this situation though.

It is definitely true that for the very inexperienced fighter the bat will probably be the much better weapon, since one good strike is more likely to be sufficient. I still think that for experienced fighters, the bat holds some advantage, although it is much closer at that point.
