You only need a baseball or something similar and the guy with the knife is fucked. Wile against a gun is different; even if you have a bazooka he can kill you if he shoots you.

Yes but anyone can grab a knife from their kitchen, guns on the other hand are illegal in the UK and are very difficult to obtain (not like in the US and other such countries), plus knives are easier to conceal and make less noise, so while you could theoritically defend against a knife easier than a gun if you are well equiped (IE, you just happen to have a baseball bat ready) or you are a master of disarming, these prior two situations aren't that likely, neither is the prospect of facing anyone with a gun, facing someone with a knife on the other hand is very likely.
