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.Random berk said: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?SuperMse said: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.
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.frankskye said: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.
That hidden blade doesn't look home made to me though. Unless the guy had some special equipment at home for making specialised parts.
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?
