I agree with CWL that the first best option is to de-ass the area. Failing that, I would try to make my first offensive move a kick to the knee. If you take a guy's legs out he can't get behind you. I don't think that I would go for my CCW if the guy was in close with the knife. By the time I got it out I would (could) be fatally cut. Better to have your arms and hands to defend with and hopefully disarm the attacker. Then when he is disarmed or thrown to the ground you could go for the handgun. If you end up on the ground you better be extremely well trained or very lucky. Just my $.02 for what it's worth.
