Do you know the answer to this fable?

I have a fable to share with you.

There once was a man who was condemned to death by a King in a far off time, in a far away land. The King showed the man three doors and told him behind door #1 was an expert swordsman waiting to cut him into small pieces. Behind door #2 was a starving tiger ready to rip him to shreds but he wouldn't tell the man what was waiting for him behind door #3. However, he gave the man a knife that he could defend himself with and if successful, the King would set the man free. Which door did the man choose and why?
