Personally I have never advocated the use of a knife for general use self defense because without extensive training the tool could easily be turned against the person trying to protect their own life.
I didn't learn much from my step-father, and got away from home as soon as I could. He did, however, teach me to play pool and that you 'drive for show and putt for dough' in golf. He also once imparted these words of wisdom - elegantly paraphrased by Mr. Harsey above - that "a knife is just something someone is going to take away from you and hurt you with."
