When I first read the topic I thought, "Great. That's just what we need - another nut-case that's gonna make all gun/knife/weapon collectors/hobbyists look like sociopaths." But then I thought about it again, and the Freddy Krueger gloves ... is a rather interesting project from an academic perspective.
First off, I think only the first film was any good. The rest were boring.
So off the top of my head you should note that a knife-glove depends on good support for each blade. I'd look into orthopedic resources for support and articulating mechanisms for wrist and fingers. The glove itself is not an issue - it's not going to support any weight of the knives and just serves to cover the internals.
I'd start with a good wrist brace from which you can construct articulations that parallel the metacarpals and fingers over the dorsum (back) of the hand.
Still, as I recall, the knives were extensions of the fingertips - more like long fingernails than wolverine (x-men) claws. The only problem there is that they really depend on the strength of your fingers to be effective at all and all the joints and braces have to be particularly strong.
