Anyone ever grind the sharp edge off a real machete and use it as a prop?

What? Ruin the Machette? Gah!

I've heard somewhere there's something you can coat the sharp edge with that won't damage the blade and you won't have to grind the blade down... Unfortunately, I can't remember what it was because I read it in passing and didn't need to use it. I'll keep my eyes out if I can see it again.

You could just balance your first victim on the edge all evening, that should work

Thanks for the advice! I think there is a liquid rubber coating that is meant to coat tool handles. That might work. I'll give it a try.

Thanks again for your help!
