I'm inclined to give him the -2 on the pistol in his main hand,and no penalty for the knife since he has W.P. paired weapons. I think that would be the right way to do it,but would he still get two parries?
None, myself.

I agree. That could fit on the ruling philosophy.

He'd just get the knife-parries, since modern pistols aren't made for that sort of thing...

Most knives aren't really designed for that either
try and parry a knife with knife with out a crossblade and your most likely going to get your hand sliced. At least the pistol is going to be able to catch the blade with the sights and other stuff at the top
I'd just say no penalties

I would go penalty free as well, if only for simplicity sakes.
I also agree that depending on the knife used parrying may not be an option (say a switchblade or pocket knife,etc).
I would also look into damage capacity on the pistol, as it wasnt made for such use, I would tally up 1/2 damage on the pistol as either it would eventually break or start jamming up taking that kinda abuse.

Considering you'd be working at very different ranges with the 2 weapons, I'd go with the standard R:UE penalty for paired weapons.

You can fire a pistol with one hand without penalty, so unless he's already engaged in melee, what's the penalty for?
I think that would be the right way to do it,but would he still get two parries?
Only if he had W.P. Blunt for the use of the pistol in melee.
