Actually looks a lot like modern knife fighting, with the off arm curled up in front to protect your guts. I was under the impression that was late 18th, early 19th century style. Which is where "modern" knife fighting comes from. Then again, I don't know anyone who practices that style of fighting, so I could be wrong.
High guard is interesting, low or middle is usually taught in knife fighting, not really practical for knives, where you usually don't do blade on blade parries. And your targets are the softer parts of the body, not the areas protected by ribs and skull.
