interestingly enough, there was a similar discussion on 343 forums over putting a knife into Halo 4 about the amount of force involved.
Forerunner shields found on the Onyx sentinels were rader/speed engaged; it only popped up if the object was moving fast enough. However, it was also supposed to be much stronger. (and opaque gold :) )
SPARTAN shields, on the other hand, are constantly active. This did make running/gripping things harder, so MC left them on a low power state for most of the time, except for special circumstances like when trying to cross a minefield.
personally, I think that a knife could probably penetrate the shields and armor if wielded by a Spartan, but im not esp. inclined to give it serious, time-consuming though, so I'm guessing on whim here. I would say that the shields can deflect bullets easier, though, b/c bullets are easier to deflect in that the sense that once the energy is absorbed, it's gone and the bullet will travel differently. On the other hand, a knife blow will have a constant supply of energy from the user's hand behind it that gives it a constant attack that lasts longer that a bullet, possibly draining the basic Spartan shields.
