Only time I've used a knife on a living creature was before I had actually trained in Arnis.

Killed a 150lb boar with one thrust. (Lucky for me, the boar was distracted by a dog at the time.) Hog dropped immediately, and stopped breathing about 20 seconds later.

Knives may be just a bit more effective than some folks here seem to think.

Since then, I've actually trained some with knives. Get within reach, and pose a lethal threat, and if the knife is in hand, I won't bother going for the gun.

Given more heads up, I'd opt for the gun, but I wouldn't try to change weapons either way if already at point blank.
