It may be legal depending on the laws where you live but any distance you can keep between you and your attacker is a plus, the farther the better.
Using a knife on a living creature can have its own set of mental challenges, we butcher and smoke pigs every year and act to ensure no animal suffers one second longer than needed and a knife into living flesh has a certain mental challenge even if a bullets done 99% of the job.
