Lets say the perp had a knife and you wanted to even it up. Would you be right in your actions?

Why would you want to "even it up"? If there is an intruder in my home who has threatened me with a knife, I want to end the threat immediately. No ifs, ands or buts and the quickest way to do so is to shoot him.
In my opinion, if you used a knife simply because that is what the intruder had, I would find it really hard to believe that you were in actual fear for your life and acted in self defense.
