See the above quote Ultra-Orthodox Israeli Stabs 6 at a Gay Pride Parade for Second Time, Police SayAnd the candy ass IDF can't take a knife away from a 16 yo girl.
Says someone with no realistic self defense training. Removing a knife from someone who is intent on using it for lethal effect is ridiculously difficult without exposing yourself to mortal peril. Have you ever tried to disarm someone with a knife? Even someone young, of small mass and untrained? In practice or in RL? Even if you are highly trained and have mad skills and incredible reflexes, the chances of injury is high. There is certainly a risk of death. There are risks of permanent disfigurement or disability -- especially of "defensive" wounds might sever nerves of the hand which could lead to permanent disability and the end of a career. A non-compliant threat can cross a wide distance (ie the "21 foot rule") in 1.5 to 2.5 seconds and do lethal damage.
No LEO in their right mind would intentionally go into hand-to-hand combat with someone using a knife to lethal effect.
