Contrary to popular belief, muggers do not have the ability to use "the force" to pull a weapon out of your hands and "use it on _____ [insert g/f, oneself]"
Actually, crime statistics do show that attempting to defend yourself with a knife results in a quite high likelihood of being injured, much higher than other methods of self-defense. Yes, it IS quite easy to get stabbed with your own knife when attempting to defend yourself with it. It's pretty hard to get shot with your own gun or sprayed with your own pepper spray (assuming you know how to use the latter), but it's not very hard at all to get stabbed with your own knife.
