Knife attacks can be quite deadly. Does anyone know a statistic on the fatalities of knive vs gun crimes?

When I was taking my CHL class the instructor said if an assailant is closer than 25' and has a knife while your gun is holstered, run! Even if you don't mess up the draw (which is hard because you've got a crazed motherfucker with a knife running at you) you can't get it out in time.

EDIT: added a letter

I think the idea of "rush a gun, run from a knife" isn't that the knife is more dangerous, it's that you CAN run from a knife.

They absolutely can be! I don't know them off the top of my head

You can miss vital organs with a gun. Knives are much more personal and precise.

I don't know statistics, and they wouldn't really compare due to different gun control laws, but in China they have mass stabbings. People will go into schools and start stabbing all the kids.
