Impressive to be honest. I guess you use a training knife and not the real deal?
Yup, the ones we use are essentially baby boken; hand carved wooden tanto.
We do live blade training, just not sparring. There's just no realistic way to use a sharp metal blade to spar that isn't going to end with a trip to the hospital. The live blade stuff is about learning how a knife balances and moves, how to control a cut, and how to transition the blade without getting cut.
Makes sense!
