Actually, a knife is a melee weapon unless you throw it, in which case you are now unarmed, so it is not very helpful in a battle with primarily ranged weapons. Swords and fists are both melee, but the boxer wuld be at a disadvantage unless he or she has trained to fight swords with paws, (as is the case with most boxing hares).
