Not as effective as you may think, actually. I do hope we all abide by some semi-logiclal constraints of combat. The main problem with a knife is that it's really a short weapon, it's more effective at thrusting than actually slashing, it's always going to be ineffective vs armour due to a few factors, including the fact that there is next-to-no weight behind as of it's slashing or thrusting attacks. 

Or something like that, anyway.
