Important question, how sharp do you want the blade?
That's a good question. The idea is to push the apple through the sword with a push, not a full on kick, so I don't think surgical sharpness is necessary. Maybe sharp enough to cut paper?

Don't do it. Its insane. But if you must: If you send your sword to Mr. Harsey for him to sharpen, I would hire Doc T to stand by as well. That AF fighter is the sharpest thing I have ever seen. If you practice this with a Harsey blade, I would wear steel shank boots to start with and even then there's no guarantee.
This is the only thing I don't like but I need to do it to progress. 3d dan is better than 2nd for getting students for your school. Go figure. I've seen 4 people do this and none have been injured. Of course all 4 were teenagers not 49yo morons.

Maybe I need to use one of my lower grade swords.
