Assassin's Creed Blade Replica Perfect for Cosplay, Actual Murder


There's something incredibly terrifying about a perfect replica of the retractable wrist blade seen in Assassin's Creed.

Don't get me wrong, this is easily the best homemade attempt [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/104394-Dont-Get-Arrested-With-This-Awesome-Assassins-Creed-Blade] at recreating the series' signature weapon I've ever seen. That ring-activated extension mechanism is quite a clever bit of engineering, and the actual movement of the blade seems quite fluid.

My horror, I think, stems from all the possible ways this project could go terribly wrong. It's bound to make any murders you commit instantly more stylish, but what happens when you forget you have it strapped to your arm and go to pet your cat?

The answer is not "we all get cake."

This is both amazing and very scary. If I would be an Ezio cosplayer, I would worry myself sick if I was using this. I mean, the costume wouldn't be cheap so I would worry that the blade would actually go through the sleeve and ruin the it.

I want one just so that when the shitloads of muggers living around my college finally try to mug me, I can just deploy the hidden blade and say "Yeah, you still want to try that, mate?". My guess is that, even if they could still probably overpower me, they'd be so shocked that they would back down. Additionally, it gives off a "Don't fuck with me" vibe, no?

Yeah, it's probably illegal, and yeah, the chance for misfire is high, but I really want to scare these bastards. They pistol-whipped my former roommate and he had to go to the emergency room. Not cool.

Awesome and yet it will result in death.
So you're saying it cuts both ways?
Always ready to spring into action, aren't you? :p

Nah, there's nothing against imitation plastic blades, otherwise fancy dress shops would be struggling, lol. Of course, some police may want to ask why you would be wearing such a device around the place, and I don't think anyone would see the funny side if you were to use it to intimidate or threaten someone... then again, that applies to just about anything.

The main problem I see with this plan is that they pistol whipped your roommate. That suggests that they have guns. Want to have a guess at what they might do if you threaten them with a hidden blade?

Wear it outside the sleeve. Thats how Ezio wears his, and he has metal bracers over them. Leave the underside of your wrist uncovered with just the blade and whatever you strapped it on with, and that'll look pretty good.

That hidden blade doesn't look home made to me though. Unless the guy had some special equipment at home for making specialised parts.

We all get porn then?

Oh, I have no doubt that something like that will happen. I've heard tells of military personnel using riffle and pensil to make a Fake war in their spare time... What Happen? Someone forgot to remove the freaking clip. The guy had to get the bullet, as well as a lot of splinter from his body. Heard grown up normal man jumping of building in a Batman or a Superman oufit. I heard there's site out there where people post video of them mutilating their own body for free and posting it. Jackass at least get some money for doing it. There's imitator for everything.

How could this not go horribly, horribly wrong at some point?

Pretty good, but there's about a half dozen of these on Youtube. Don't know why people are just finding out now.

Next I wanna see his cosplay of Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver. You know he could make a spring loaded gun thingy just like in the movie.

Very cool and very illegal.

I'd replace the blade with a Spork.
Well, i don't think it would be anymore illegal than if you were to carry around a switchblade. Maybe it would be, not sure.
So thats two years mandatory then? >_o

In the UK at least a switchblade is an offensive weapon, and as such you can own it and keep it in your house but if you take it off private property you can be arrested for carrying a weapon. Plus the are specific laws relating to blades with mechanisms like a switch blade, so a blade with a mechanism is more illegal than a straight up combat knife (I think).
