How well would t work if the knife guy was using wait>committed attack himself and able to do Turn maneuvers in response to a sidestepping circler to avoid exposing his rear and even keeping the knife trained on the grappler?
If the knife wielder is not attacking and not following the unarmed character, the unarmed character can simply escape and is no longer being attacked by a man with a knife and thus does not have to attempt a very risky unarmed counter to an armed attacker.

The unarmed fighter needs ca 4 skill levels higher for him to have a reasonable chance if using all the realistic optional rules.
