I've only heard of the one person who did that, with an antique sword, no less.

No, but they were warned not to ever do that again.

It was a 130 year old sword that had been made in England, and presented to a particular officer in the American Civil War.... and not to be used in food preparations.

The appraiser (it was on Antiques Roadshow, the American version) pointed out all the special things like the engraving and the Sheffield mark. Then, he clearly told the man NEVER EVER use it to slice another watermelon.

Where is the sword now?

I'm hoping it's either hanging on a wall out of harm's (and food preparation's) way or a museum. The owner wasn't looking to sell at the time.

no chance of it being used in a highland fling then?

A Virginia Reel is more likely, unless you want to show them how to do the Highland Fling.
