Knives are bad in my opinion because they can pretty much be avoided in any situation. The only time knifers really get kills are either with 1) noobs, 2) camping/scoping commando noobs that don't move or check their health while they snipe, and 3) any other situation where people don't notice the commando (I.E. chaos happening at lookout and no one notices the knifers running around). Knives are mostly used by newbies who think it's cool with all of the "knife commando" guides and videos, when in reality knives are pretty much the worst weapon in the game.
Sniper/Pistol Commando vs. Knife Commando
If the sniper has at least level 1 elixir, that's enough to fight back at a knifing commando. When the knifer uses elixir, the sniper simply uses elixir as well. It doesn't matter if the knifer has a higher level elixir either since all levels of elixir have the same speed and duration. The only difference is the shield which doesn't really have much of an effect if the sniper uses elixir to run away and snipe them from afar. Heck, if anything the sniper can just use elixir to run away or ambush and surprise the knifer.
If the commando has a pistol in hand, he can beat the knifer easy. The long and short-range pistols do just fine at short to medium range and should be enough to take the knifer out while putting a distance so the pistol commando doesn't get stabbed. When the knifer uses elixir, the pistol commando uses elixir as well. Then while he's charging at you, shoot at him. The knifers only two options then are to run away or die.
This is why I always carry a pistol and sniper rifle as a commando. Knives are just WAY too easy to avoid and are too situational to use. Pistols cover any situation a knife can do and more. Plus, commandos absolutely stink at extreme close range. A smart commando would be distancing himself from his target, not getting closer to him, possibly getting one kill, then getting raped by his kill's teammates.
Soldier vs. Knife Commando
Level 1 blasting strike is already enough to push away a knifer, disabling his ability to stab the soldier as the knifer needs to be right next to his target to deal damage. Plus the the blasting strike can even slam him into a wall or cause him to fall from a great height to take damage, which is lethal against commandos as they have low health. Soldiers are also obviously well-equipped for close and medium ranged battles with their SMGs and shotguns, so it's very easy to take down any knifer whether they're next to a soldier or far away from one after a blasting strike. Heal also comes in handy, making the knifer's attack pretty much useless even if the knifer got a lucky stab in.
Gunner vs. Knife Commando
Gunners have way too much health. It'll take a while for a knifer to take down a gunner without poisoned blade, and the gunner has the shield skill to up his defense to reduce any damage he takes. Plus, leg it which allows him to run faster than a jeep and mow down the knifer with a machine gun or shotgun or just run away.
Knife Commando vs. Knife Commando
Both run around at each other stabbing like a madman. People around them watch them like they're stupid and shoot the enemy knifer down. That or one of them just steps back, realizes two knifers going at it is just plain stupid, and then shoots the other with a sniper rifle or pistol. Definitely hilarious to laugh at. If you haven't seen it yet, you're missing out. But trust me, there are plenty of opportunities for you to see this.
