I think "I have seen the end of Under Siege a bunch of times" should be an option.
I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....

Case of mistaken identity. Fortunately, the mistake was realized before I was killed/maimed.

No, but I saw a girl get stabbed in the arm after having a knife pulled on her during a fight.

A old coworker of mine was also randomly assaulted by a knife wielding assailant in Jamaica and got some nasty stab wounds on both of his hands.

My sig is 1 pixel too big.

I have been in an icepick v. screwdriver fight. The icepick (them) lost. It was a really big screwdriver, and they're lucky it didn't get infected. Last I knew the guy didn't limp anymore, so he's got THAT going for him.

I had a guy pull a knife on me in Gatlinburg when I was a teen, so I pulled the machete I kept behind the driver's seat. He left.

Closest for me was chasing off a burglar with an aluminum bar.

Do juvenile hijinx get included here or is this about being all grown up and such?

Q: Have you ever been in knife fight?
A: Yes.

Knife fighting is silly and quite dangerous. Also a quick way to ruin a nice jacket.

Haven't been in one myself, but once was in a coffee shop late at night where two guys in a fight came in from the street. One had a knife, but hadn't done anything with it. I called 911, but the cops were already there outside.

Yes, to the first four choices.

The bodies are "buried" in swamps all throughout Cambodia and Laos.

What's that supposed to mean?

Getting into a knife fight with someone who has a knife is silly.
I would only attack someone who is sleeping or really not expecting it.
