I get that it isn't the most commonly used phrasing, but there isn't much to be misunderstood either.
Every time a nontoken creature you control dies, this knight draws you a card and pings you for 1.
That covers both itself and any other creature you control, that isn't a token. If a token copy has been made, said copy will no longer be a "nontoken" creature, therefore not triggering off of itself. Seems quite simple.
