Newbie here.
I think that the kinfe attack should have been available since the first Socom. I remember going online for the frist time and was thoroughly disappointed that it was not a feature.
The only thing that would suck is that if you are in some kind of 2v1 situation where the guys are held up in a building, and you kill one with a knife, the game will "advertise" your presence, thus taking away the stealthiness of the knife kill. Still, it would make for a kick *** way to humiliate a camper.
