Get some rubber knives, like this:
Give one of those bad boys to each of your friends (keep one for yourself, of course) and instruct them to attack you at random. You’ll have to fend them off with your own rubber knife.
It should be a ball, breaking out into a mock knife fight unexpectedly, in random places. It’ll also be as close to a real knife fight as paintball is to a real gun fight. (Not very.)

I had a book about this many years ago and it recommended Fencing – and it was a barrel of fun as a challenge.

I am not a military person is my understanding that when military people train they use live ammunition so the soldiers understand they are in a deadly environment. Please correct me if I’m wrong the last thing I want is to tick a marine and if I’m wrong I already apologize.
in martial arts schools they sometimes use wooden shaped knifes or Blunt edge weapons simulate combat. Actors used to prop weapons and modified moves to simulate fights.
In my humble opinion there is no safe way to practice being in a fight. Train you can drill people In techniques Definitely the military does that all the time in the hopes that these techniques will become ingrained.
There’s nothing safe about a street fight there is nothing safe about a knife fight in real life you can’t really safely train for it. If you’re actually in a knife fight techniques are helpful but you are not and you should never feel safe. The best you could hope for is muscle memory. Stay focused and hope your training kicks in Think of the difference between riding a mechanical bull and riding a real bull.

As others mentioned, there are rubber, plastic and wooden knives and you could even add paint to them to ensure a mark is left. Use a large comb if nothing else.
But please don’t make the mistake of believing that airlift or paintball are anything like a gunfight or that practicing with plastic knives will really prepare you against someone intent to cut or stab you.
No matter how much you think you have practiced, it will likely be over before you blink. violent people don’t generally pull a weapon and stand there discussing things to give you the opportunity to defend.
