In order to train with knives, you can't use the real thing!

These rubber knives by Boker make practicing your techniques safe and effective. If you chalk up the edge of the knife, you can easily score "hits" and determine the effectiveness of your technique.

I've used these in martial arts training, and it's something anybody in self-defense training should own.
