At Insights' DFK 1/2 we used foam knives cut to resemble Delicas on the knife-on-knife stuff. Injury potential is less than a rubber knife.

I have one of Spyderco's "training" Delicas which is useful for solo practice. Basically a rounded and dulled steel blade in a red Delica handle. I've sliced my hand a few times training solo with "live" Delicas so these training Delicas are a good idea.
