rubber knife

Fake stabbing tool

A rubber knife is a training or prop knife made of flexible rubber or similar material, used for self-defense practice, theatrical performances, or costume accessories.

The softness prevents injury during staged combat or martial arts drills: We practiced disarming techniques with rubber knives.

Sometimes used figuratively for something ineffective or unthreatening.
