Tactically, this is a less than smart move.
As others have said, use the gun - Never defend on an even playing field when it comes to lethal force encounters. You don't have to and the law doesn't require it.
Legally, it would depend upon the knife laws of the State you were in. You could win the fight. You could win the court case (criminal and/or civil) but still fall to using an unlawful weapon.
