Look for the excellent recent south korean thriller "The Man from Nowhere". It features one of the scariest knife fights I've ever seen in a movie.
True! Executed in FMA style... Not too much melodrama either.
South Korean genre cinema is amongst the most energetic and interesting of the moment. Also, the scripts don't take prisoners. I discovered them with "Memories of Murder" and "Oldboy", both were outstanding, I then eagerly started hunting for other gems.
In the case of "The man from nowhere", the knife fight is edge of the seat stuff.

Very nice thread
U already mentioned some pretty nice movies with good knife scenes (and I'm sure there are alot more hidden, especially in southeast asian fight movies).
But to me, the man/knife relationship in "The hunted" beats any other thing I have seen so far.
