Seriously though, if the guy with the knife actually wanted to fight, the guy with the sword would be at a disadvantage. The close distance and the very narrow space between rows very severely limits the sword's options, while the same leaves the sword guy in range of just about everything a knife can do.
On the other side of the coin, that sword looks like it might be one of a common brand of a practice sword. If that's true, and its not for show, the guy with the knife was screwed anyway.
