You need to get out that is not acceptable from either sex .You can ring the local police station they normally keep 24 hour numbers for your local one s.
Your risking your life to stay in something which by your post seems to be escalating.Would you not consider pressing charges on the stabbing ,it may give you some breating space.

I wonder if the police could give you any advice regarding a safe house?

It sounds like you are in danger living with your partner, this is serious.

Try http://www.mankind.org.uk/ Domestic violence is unacceptable, whichever gender it is. You know you are protecting your life by getting out. Well done for acknowledging you are worth more.

until you find one, do yourself a favour and just leave, pack up your stuff when shes not there, block her number on your phone so she cant call or text and go to a friends house
you dont have to tell them why your there, just say "shes a crazy b!tch, always on my case etc and i had enough" if they are good mates they will probably tell you that they knew that but couldnt figure out how to tell you!
kip on a mates sofa or even the floor for a few nights, clear your head... you dont need to put up with someone attacking you,
could you go home? any family you could stay with?
no matter what, just please leave, as soon as you can.... xxx

Contact your local Community Safety Partnership who should be able to assist.

I may be wrong, but I don't believe the police give the numbers of womens safehouses to men - for all the obvious reasons.

Hi pistunbroke
You need to speak to police and ask to be referred to the domestic abuse unit. They will be experienced in dealing with many different situations. As a previous poster mentioned, the charity mankind may also have advice/information regarding refuges. You have realised that you are in a dangerous situation and it's important that you get help to protect yourself.
Good luck
