I admit that it's POSSIBLE to not go unconscious from grievous head trauma (everyone has seen stories of guys with nails or rebar through their heads who are walking around fine), but I think you are overstating your case substantially. People black out with barely a sound from minor crushing hits to the skull. Shoving a "large knife" into your head from below the neck is going to very likely cause you to black out as well. And if you don't like that, you can always go with the blackjack...(assuming no helmet, obviously).
