Not sure why this happens totally but:
I've had this a few times myself as well.
Is it a bug/glitch?
Or does the Knife inflict damage over a period of time rather than instant in one tick.

Is it on console? It could make a big difference if this is on a PC due to mods.

Nope it's PS3.

In that case I can only guess it is something PS3-specific. Maybe to do with lag or something, because I play on 360 and with ~17 days on CoD4 and 2-3 days on WaW, I don't think this ever happened to me.

The knife struck while the enemy was in the invincible state of Last Stand.
It is pretty easy to see - the guy falls down before the hit indicator appears.
The player behind the viewer shot him to Last Stand, as well as finished the job.
Even though the knife was ineffectual, the strike would still be counted as damage and an assist.
There were even reponse videos that also clearly show off the enemy being in Last Stand and having been attacked by someone other than the first player, a knife making contact during the invincible moment.

Ah, I didn't know the knife strike actually hit and counts as a hit.
I did know people are invulnerable in the animation of going to last stand though.
Well that explains a lot, cheers Den.
