刀 - Kitchen Knife
刂 - Vegetable Peeler

That's great. The "vegetable peeler" is a "Sparschäler" (economy peeler) in German. The blade and the handle look exactly like this character. Thanks a lot for the idea.

I think that I'll use a Bowie knife (刀) and a pen knife (刂).

For sword theme for the刂 prop, I'm going with Sting from The Hobbit. But other notable suggestions could be a Minecraft sword, Excalibur, or the Sword of Gryffindor.
