Most people who get stabbed don't even see the knife or realise they're being stabbed during the attack, so you need to recognize when someone is drawing a knife and when, (grab their hand whilst they're trying to pull something out of their pocket, overhook their elbow tightly whilst striking with your other hand/whatever. Yes, people already branishing their knives or weapons openly before attacking is a real concern, but in a lot of cases, you might not get that advance warning. "Always assume your attacker always has a weapon like a knife or gun, and also assume they have friends ready to jump you if it goes physical." Very important to know as even if you're kicking the guy's arse, they might panic and pull out a knife or gun without you knowing they're now using a weapon. The obvious answer is to be aware of potentially dangerous situations, know what aggressive/about to attack body language looks like, try to avoid the situation, verbally defuse if possible, but you also need to actually know what drawing a concealed weapon looks & feels like. One drill I did many years ago was a wrestling drill with a twist. You'd start wrestling with a partner from the standing clinch, who had a knife concealed on them, and at some point they'd try and pull it out. Over time, you'd get a feeling of when they're reaching behind them/into a pocket and do something about it like controlling their limb. People wrestling or unarmed striking don't usually suddenly start reaching into their clothing or grabbing behind them and then "punching" you unless they're grabbing a weapon like a knife or gun. Another way is having a partner with a concealed training knife on them at arms length. You just stand there, silently or verbally counting "Opportunity" repeatedly as they pull out their training knife, and only stop counting once they "stab" or "slash" you (they have to physically make contact with you to be an effective drill, no swiping the air BS with this one). The "opportunity" thing is making a note of what physical actions someone actually has to do to pull out a concealed weapon, and therefore what "opportunities" you can actually do something about it i.e. if they turn away from you and start reaching behind them during a scuffle, you have an opportunity to mess up their weapon draw when they turn away before they actually pull the weapon out; be it just grabbing or striking their hand/elbow going into their pocket. This will hopefully give you time to properly grab onto their limb then punch them whilst controlling the limb etc.
