My vote goes to Judas Priest's The Sentinel:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tv-e9DJqK4

Amidst the upturned burned-out cars
The challengers await
And in their fists clutch iron bars
With which to seal his fate
Across his chest is scabbards rest
The rows of throwing knives
Whose razor points in challenged tests
Have finished many lives

Now facing one another
The stand-off eats at time
Then all at once a silence falls
As the bell ceases its chime
Upon this sign the challengers
With shrieks and cries rush forth
The knives fly out like bullets
Upon their deadly course
Screams of pain and agony
Rent the silent air
Amidst the dying bodies
Blood runs everywhere
The figure stands expressionless
Impassive and alone
Unmoved by this victory
And the seeds of death he's sown

Sworn to avenge
Condemn to hell
Tempt not the blade
All fear the Sentinel

But, come to think of it, is there anybody badder than GODZILLA?

Charles Nelson Reilly

I suppose he's non-fiction, but I don't think every detail in this song is rooted in truth:

An obscure one, but for those who remember the band and song...Rose Tattoo's 'Butcher' in "The Butcher and Fast Eddie," a bluesy ode to a badass knife fight. Butcher won...
