Unless you can prove that your life was in danger, you're fucked if you kill him. And, when you're standing over the body of an unarmed, lone attacker without a scracth on you... well, that's kinda hard to prove.
He might bleed on you, or gnaw your legs off!
I would not involve the knife against a thug without a weapon. The more empty hands an opponent has, the higher their probability of success at an attempt to steal someone else's weapon. Furthermore if they don't have a weapon, you'll probably get charged with excessive force if you are the one with the weapon. I would only use a weapon in combat if I had taken it from my assailant, or if they had a gun, or if they had just killed someone. In those cases the assailant would pose a more credible threat to the investigators. Just remember to SING.
So you kill an unarmed thug who attacked you, do you hide the body, or call the police?
Wow, so you're actually considering acting guilty when you're not? Why so afraid of the legal system? I think someone has been delving too much into the world of fiction...

you run.
then if cornered you whip it out only at the last moment or in secret. you do not let on you have a knife until he overestimates his advantage. or brandish and see if that scares him. sucky either way, maybe he's on drugs and doesn't care if you have a knife
i guess if they have murderous intent you hide weapon you can surprise stab, if they are robbing thugs you brandish and hope they leave you alone.

I have no practice with a pocket knife, no strength to win a straight fight, and nine year olds can outrun me with ease. I'd probably just get my ass kicked or die.
you'd drop the knife trying to fiddle with it to get it open. i doubt you'll be able to flip open a cheap pocket knife in time before he kicks your ass. maybe if it was a butterfly knife or something...not a walmart 3" folding knife.

or the "assailant" would walk by you and get into his nearby car and drive away.
run. if he catches me, knife comes out.
if he makes a move, knife slashes across midsection, then begin running again.
should he happen to catch me again, id stab him.

Step-behind-side-kick? Seems like a lot of steps just to kick a guy. I, personally would just do a quarter-rounded-knee-bend-stepping-jump-elbow... kick.

i'd warn him that i had a knife and that i've got experience with it and expect him to stop and go the other way.
if that didn't work, i'd hold the knife in my dominant hand, blade down. i'd still be able to punch and i can stab, slice, slash, or gouge in more directions with more control and without the added risk of spraining my wrist if the blade met resistance.
i'd slash... i don't want to kill anyone. i don't care if he would have killed me... i just wouldn't have it in me to kill someone, unless it was in self-defense (an accident while i was trying to defend myself).

John Thomas n. "John Thomas" is slang in the UK for one's penis. The term derives from the name the leading man in D.H. Lawrence's novel Lady Chatterley's Lover gave to his own appendage. The book was made famous by the obscenity trial it landed Penguin Books in during the 1950s. I'm told that in American one can buy "John Thomas relish" to put on your lunch, something which isn't commercially available in the UK.
He better be a big fucker. Other wise he'll be getting a major ass whopping. And I wouldn't need the knife.
Not enough of a scenario to give a correct response. Where am I? Why is this person coming at me? How do I know it's a thug? How do I know they're unarmed? Who's with me? Who's around me? What are my avenues of escape? What kind of size/shape is the person coming at me? How are they approaching (ie what physical and mental skills characteristics are they exhibiting)? What act of God took my gun away from me? How am I dressed. What else is around me? etc, etc, etc.
I would usually try to avoid a knife fight if at all possible...I'm more competent unarmed than with a short blade. However, if I was forced to I'd wield it weak hand, reverse grip, blade out (kind of like an edged tonfa) and use it primarily defensively, stabbing only for an assured kill.
