To do a knife counter takedown you need an upgrade. If you have it when an enemy attacks you need to press counter button (RMB, Y, ▲) + move to sides before every knife attack and release counter button after every attack. So your inputs look like this: move to side+press counter button (enemy hit) release counter button and press again ( enemy hit) release counter button and press again (enemy hit) and then batman will takedown enemy with a knife. ninja enemies and big guys with blades will attack four times so press and release counter 4 times always moving to the side.
