The knife is held like you would a hammer)
7. (If you have a knife) Dont let them know you have a knife. or if they know keep it low next to you leg, with the other arm raised in defense (Back of the forearm facing the assailant). This to keep them from knowing your range.
8. Learn where to cut people to gain the most. Under the arm pit, inside of the thigh, the throat (Not as easy to get the artery as youve been lead to believe. I know first hand) learn the targets and learn how long it would typically take for them to bleed out.

1. Getting cut has a high probability, but is not guaranteed. IME, preemptive action increases your chance of not getting cut.
6. The ice pick grip is also used very well by a couple of systems. I think that it's better not to over-intellectualize the grip, and react to the individual instead.
7. There are other alternatives too, depending on the number of assailants. Keeping both arms closer to the body has the advantage of protecting organs. The Thinker (ala Rodin) seems to be effective here.
8. Sadly, sometimes people need to get cut going in and coming out. The major areas are good, but even "lining out" the arms and stomach can be very effective. At all times the response should only be to neutralize the threat, not to take revenge for being attacked.
