Hi Mike, it seems to be the norm for tv/movie production with the blunt swords and knives used by the actors 'blunts'.
'Dull' in my experience is more of a working definition for a knife needing to be sharpened, and is not the term being used as it would refer to a live blade that could be sharper.
'Blunt' is being used in some forthcoming legislation (don't get me started), which is actually leading me to investigate a possible legal definition of 'blunt'. If you grind off the edge bevel flat, by how much would you need to do this for it to become a 'blunt'.
If I could use a BESS number that would be measurable. I'd also like a demonstration (other than dragging the blade along my hand - maybe that is it though) to prove it is 'blunt' and therefore does not have a live cutting edge.
