Depending on the wording of the statutes in your particular state, the charges will be similar to: "Assault And Battery" - "Threats In A Menacing Manner" - Assault With A Deadly Weapon." If any injuries were suffered by the victim the charges could be 'enhanced.'
When you are presented to court, you will be read the charges against you, and you will have the opportunity to consult with an attorney/public defender before you make your plea.
