Knife fighting competitions?

Does anybody know if these exist in the US anymore?

I remember they had this event in the Soldier of Fortune conventions in Las Vegas in the 90's. There were certain rules, like you're not allowed a shirt, and the knife was live. But I haven't heard of this recently.

That's a one way to test your knife fighting skills, although it's still limited being that you likely couldn't use a terminating technique.

I just did a Google search. Here's the latest I found. It's an article that profiles the winner of the year 2000 competition:
