You can take a knife away from someone if you know what you are doing and the other person is not skilled. You will probably get cut doing it. You need to understand this ahead of time and make your best guess.
If I had a firearm, I would not close with a knife fighter, but would look to put something between us while I pumped rounds into him.
Just my .02, YMMV.

Great points Sir.
My response is for the above video that RL posted. At some point they need to take the "Bull buy the Horns" so to speak and fight back.
I also absolutely agree with you having cover or an obstacle would be ideal when confronting someone with a knife. But, I also look at the statical hit ratio of LEO's in dynamic situations; weigh that with the horrible backdrop these guys have and I still think the least risk to society is to close with them to a degree I don't know that I would get inside 10 feet of either one.
So, yes at some point I would stop my advance and rely on my ballistics to do the work.
