Historically, if you were going to kill a knight in full armor you'd use a long dagger and go for chinks in armor, usually after you'd already knocked him down and sometimes while he was being held down by 2-3 other guys. So you could go All Out Attack (Determined), multiple times if necessary.
However, historically most men in armor were worth more as ransom than they were dead, so if you could overcome them you took them prisoner instead of killing them. Plus, Knights were minor nobles (and most higher Nobles wore full armor suits), and it just wouldn't do for a bunch of peasants to kill a noble.
