Do any of you grapplers supplement your training with knife work?

I supplement it in the sense of grappling with a knife. Changes all the rules and is definitely 100 times harder. True eye opening experience.

Absolutely!
You have to train grappling (from standing AND ground) by themselves, then you have to add strikes, and then add a knife into the mix. It's all good training.
I believe that if you're truly into training for self defense, you HAVE to add knife training to your program - if nothing more than to maintain some awareness of what can happen.
The good thing is that, the grappling game (at least from standing) doesn't change all much when a knife has entered the picture. Truthfully, the ground game doesn't change all the much either once its been fully thought-out.
