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

[Escapefromwhatever]

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.

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?

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.

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.

Yeah, I know. I was speaking from a partially serious, partially facetious standpoint. I probably wouldn't use the blade unless an opportunity presented itself, but it would feel so satisfying if I could. I don't want to kill anyone, just let them know that we aren't the easy targets they assume us to be.

I have read though that criminals are likely to back off at almost any sign of danger, so a hidden blade might actually scare them away. I mean, from their standpoint, why risk getting stabbed or shooting someone and getting charged for murder for whatever's in my pocket?

If those were legalized, they would be perfect for the more dangerous neighborhoods of NYC.

Awesome looking, and ingenious engineering.

But I was wondering if the is enough force for the knife to stab the enemy as it is released.

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."

To bad it illegal to even OWN it in half the United States, all of Canada and parts of Europe.

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.

Actually, there IS something against imitations. The law where I live states that if you rob a bank with something looking like a pistol, you WILL get more time in the slammer then if you did it with your fists. Even if it was only a bar of chocolate.

 

[Macgyvercas]

DO WANT!

Seriously, that would be awesome to own!

 

[Lancer723]

How are you so sure the answer isn't that we all get cake?

 

[kortin]

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).

Meh, in the US you're allowed to carry a knife as long as its not longer than so length(not too sure on the number).

Well, I' still want one. Even if its illegal. Would be interesting how well you can conceal it, seeing as its called a hidden blade

Man those are cool. I want the blades Sora uses in .Hack Sign.
All real assassins should get one of these.

 

[Dragonsoulq]

Looking at the design of it, I don't think the blade could cut him as it withdraws, as his fingers will be out of the way by the opening mechanism....I could be wrong.

 

[pyramid head grape]

Coolest thing ever.

 

[EHKOS]

Everyone should know it's a plastic blade. Just a heads up.

 

[Blackout62]

Everyone should know it's a plastic blade. Just a heads up.

Nope, still terrified. If vacuum sealed plastic packaging can give incisions deep enough that I need stitches than I am justifiably frightened by hidden knife shaped piece of thick plastic.

 

[twm1709]

as I watched it I kept thinking of spider-man's webshooters and I thought "mmmm, that mechanism could work, now I just have to figure out the web fluid formula"

Yeah - doing illegal things with imitation weapons is worse than just doing illegal things, but merely possessing replicas isn't generally illegal, though you may need a license for some things in some places and taking them out in public can be hazardous to your freedom.

As I said before, if you were found wearing a hidden wrist blade in public by the police they may have a few pointed [heh] questions for you, but unless you were doing anything with it they can hardly do much to you for carrying a piece of plastic, no matter how cool it looks

Yea, by the looks of it, in order to activate the mechanism in either direction he would have to draw his fingers back. Since he places it on his ring finger, which is linked to the other fingers mechanically, he would be hard pressed to both activate the mechanism and have his fingers in its way at the same time.

This is ridiculously cool, by the way. UbiSoft should sell plastic versions of this design.

 

[newguy77]

I want the plans so I can try making one myself.

 

[LadyRhian]

Given that the first one was made of plastic and plastic doesn't show up on metal detectors/scanners, I'd be afraid of someone constructing something like this for non good/non cosplay reasons...

 

[MasterOfWorlds]

This would be so illegal in the US. One, the blade looks like it's more that sixe inches, which is automatically illegal to carry in most states if I recall correctly. Two, it's a switchblade, more or less, which violates the laws regarding the steps it takes to access the weapon, I think it's three in most states, reaching for pocket, take out of pocket, and flip open. And three, concealed weapon. Better have a concealed carry permit. And a good lawyer, you know, just in case. XD

Indeed, all it would take is a ceramic blade. Whatever do you mean? People wouldn't use concealed weapons for devious purposes at all. XD

 

[blue heartless]

I would pay money for this.
