Both guys are each equipped with a katana and two Rambo style knives for this fight, no guns. I've got my Blade blinders on and I'm hoping PZ has his Punisher blinders on for this one.

Oh man you just couldnt help yourself could you? You just HAD to demean Blade in some shape or form. For all thats good and holy how on earth did you come to the conclusion that Punisher was as good at knife fighting as Blade?

Eat me. There's no way I could've answered this question without you bitching about me downplaying one character or another. I gave Blade the win, and the knives won't play a big role in a swordfight anyhow. So how the hell is that demeaning to Blade?
In any case, I said probably, not certainly. Frank Castle was a United States Marine, and Marines are issued KA-BAR knives and some training with it. Castle has trained himself to be a skilled fighter in armed and unarmed combat, as well as becoming a great marksman. It's a good bet knife-fighting would have been included, but because The Punisher's weapons of choice are firearms, there won't be many examples to show off his knife skills.
Oh really I dont remember me bitching about your comments in the Sabretooth thread.
So basically your making a judgment on a very small amount of showings and yor stating Punisher is probably equal because of his army training forgetting that there are lots of reasons as to why Blade would be better than Punisher?
Yes you said probably and that is downright ridiculous.

You could probably give a rat's ass about Sabretooth. This is between two of your favorites on KMC. Had this been Blade vs. Cap, or Cap vs. Punisher, you'd probably argue for ten pages for whichever character I didn't think would win.
So you want to nitpick showings to suit your argument. How wonderfully typical.
In no way am I saying Punisher is better than Blade at knifefighting, but that he is probably good enough at it to hold his own against him without pulling any flashy crap you'd see someone like Blade, Deadpool, Elektra, Longshot, and Bullseye do. It's irrelevant anyhow, since the knives probably won't come into play.
If written properly and doing justice to the characters this fight should last more than a few seconds (in the arena). Blade is way too powerful for the bringer of punishment..
