Let me guess. You have a soviet degree in law.

If they just hit him I can see the reasoning for manslaughter, but they were carrying a weapon, obviously with the intent of wounding or worse. In those cases it should be upgraded to murder

Isn't there an automatic jail sentence for carrying lethal weapons, such as guns? Knifes are just as lethal, it's all about where the victim is hit with both types of weapon.

So they should get 2 years for being in possession, then more on top if they use it, then more on top if they kill or seriously injure someone.
