Armour is so much stronger than any of you imagine. The only way to kill someone in full armour (gambeson, hauberk, and plate segments) is to...

1. Use a hammer/club/any impact weapon or like kick said, a war pick.

2. Find a spot like the neck or groin where there is no plate and stab hard with a thin dagger.

3. Fire an arrow or stab a sword thorugh his helmet slit.

About bodkin arrows and knives piercing any plate armour... no, not really. Yes, they could much through chain when fired from a warbow, but if you watch that video I linked, if a normal arrow does so little, how much better will a special arrow do? A dirk would do slightly better, esp. with an overhand thrust, but it would most likely still bounce off, and seeing as the seaxe was primarilly a cutting/slashing weapon... no.
