True, but while his ability to attack you with the knife is compromised (especially if it's a long one), you haven't dealt with the knife. It make's a good choice dilemma.

The problem is it only going to take one good/lucky hit from the knife to win the fight (and your defences are compromised as well while grappling).

I tend to have first priority immobilising the weapon, or to be sure how to end the fight very quickly from the point of grappling.
