Homeless Guy 2: You can't do that.
Homeless Guy 1: Yeah, it just felt like someone poked me with something. It was ridiculous. He had no idea how to stab someone.
Homeless Guy 3: You have to punch. You have to forget you're holding the knife and just punch the guy with your fist. But holding the knife.
Homeless Guy 1: Exactly. This guy had no idea what he was doing.

Actually you shouldn't hold the knife pointed towards the person at all. You should hold the knife in your right hand (assuming you're a rightie) with the blade's pointed to the right and forwards. Picture the way you'd grip a bicycle or motorcycle handle, and then picture the blade coming out to the right. This serves a variety of purposes. First, they can't grab your wrist, or they'll be grabbing the blade. Second, they can't force your arm backwards and into your face/chest and stab you with your own blade. Third, it's hardsr for them to wrestle the knife from you by prying your fingers loose because you can be twisting your fist towards you and cutting the shit out of them. Fourth, it allows you to punch, and follow through with the blade swiping from right to left across your target, and then you can return-strike with a quick jab to the chest by reversing your arm's motion and punching backwards at them.
