Howdy all!!

Hey im Kyle from texas. I just joined this blog. This place is great. Does anyone know how to make the buttlers hidden swords from hudson hawk id love to know.

Welcome!

Welcome,
They look like custom jobs,
I've seen a lot of bought switchblades,
and the bolsters and blade grinds look unique.
but I don't have a DVD copy so I've never "freeze framed" them
to speculate on the design.

Hello and welcome

Are you one of the ones who e-mailed me about these??? I behind on responding to some of my emails. If so..sorry.

This is one of a couple that I have started post for but not finished...I should just put up what I have...

I have some still pics and I made a couple of videos of the devices being opend in the movie.
The are a interesting design, as the blades are two-part. Looks like the blade swings open on the blade pivot...probally on a coil spring, then the second part of the blade opens the same...so the blade is longer than the handle when open. He does a arm move each time he open one, so I'm thinking the release mech is attaced to upper arm. When he straightens out his arm a cable is pulled and it open the devce. Looks like it springs forward a little bit, enough to give blade clearence to open, then it all unfolds.

Keep a eye out for a post called "Hudson Hawk Arm Switchblades"....I'll see if I can finish it up and post it this weekend.

Take care

Hey Kyle welcome to the forum!! Yeah, I think Sinz has an animation of them somewhere in here, but anyway, yes, they are actually an interesting design. I think we even had a little discussion in the same thread about how they appear to work, and it seems fairly straight forward, so if he gets a thread going for it, you'll probably see plenty of ideas and schematics... So I'll just repeat what the Sinz maestro said... Stay tuned...
