The Assassin Extension Knife

First topic message reminder :

I'm going to start a new post for this new weapon design.
PLEASE KEEP THIS POST ON TOPIC. DISCUSS THIS DESIGN ONLY PLEASE.
We seem to have so many it just gets worse when they are mixed together.

..................................................................................................................

Recieved my 'Assassin's Extending Knife' in the mail today.
It was $135.00 + $10 to have it sharpened.

Description:
The Assassin Extension Knife locks into place with a simple slide.
A release button allows it to slide and retract.
Attaches easily to your Assassin vambrace.
• Overall: 19-1/8"
• Wt: 1 lb/4 oz
• Blade: 9" long, 5/8" wide, 3/16" thick

Here it is out the box...smells like oil.


Closed


Extended


The blade and sleeve.


Close up of the blade. Rounded tip to be a safe prop....it's a easy fix on the belt-sander.


The sleeve and front.


Here's the button lock. Very simple, this is all you really need guys!!



Opened up. Here's what you guys have been waiting for!!!! And it's simple!









How the flex cable is attached to the blade.


How the sleeve is attached to slide plate.


But how does it all work?!?!?! So simple....


It's so basic it's almost embarrassing.
If this is the first of this design I'd love to see really nice version made really strong.
It's great for what it was made for, a costume prop or addition to a collection.
That's why it has a rounded tip. It would be easy to make it a sharp point on the belt sander if you wanted.
I can't see it taking too much abuse before it broke or bent.
As it is it came without the lock spring, so I had to open it up to fix it with one of my springs.
Not a real big deal, but I wasn't happy about it until it was fixed.

It's a little big...but looking at it I really think it could be done without the top half of the 'box'.
If you re-positioned the lock this might be able to be made half thickness. That would make a big difference.

Can it be made automatic? Semi-automatic?

Maybe.
I could see a few different ways of redesigning this, maybe with springs....maybe with a lazy-tong...or both.
The cable and pully extension system is so simple, it's how our curtains used to work as a kid.

Is it worth the money?!?! That is up to you to decide. I know I'm happy I have one!!

O.k......did I cover it all??? Any questions??

Now....on to the redesigns and the project builds!!!!

by the way, i would love to see your scematics lonely soul. your design sounds very interesting.

dude nice link, are those real knives or props?and is the hidden blade acctuly a hidden blade or is it just a gauntlet?

i should realy get around to learning german...


thanks again

uhh sorry should have red the second page, i ment the link before this. but this is preaty cool too =D

i think its hilarious that assassins creed has been out for mabye, 2 years and people have already made several mass produced replicas of his [altiar] stuff. ubisoft knows how much profit they would make by producing REAL replicas instead of this other mimic products. WAIT! i am not shitting on all of the exsisting products, i am just saying that it would be cool to have a high quality knife replica. but ubisoft would probably face major insurance, or other issues. just saying.

@Deck
Welcome to the forums.
Yes, it would be cool. But it would also open them up to all kinds of liability. U suppose, however, that they could gimp it somehow, kind of like the guys that made the SAW blade replica did. Run a bolt through the whole thing.
I dunno...

Hey guys, I'm new. Just registered like 5 minutes ago =]

A friend of mine and I have just recently become interested in making/purchasing (if we can find one) a good Assassin's Creed like hidden blade.

Alot of you have some great ideas on how to make one.
I think the best idea (which I beleive has already been mentioned) would be to get one of the AC replicas and take it apart to learn how it works, and build a modified, stronger, streamlined working version of it.

Sinza, if you can manage to make a working, practical hidden blade I'd be more then happy to buy one off of you, if you'd be willing to make and sell one.
I've got a few ideas too and I'll post with them when I get them all fleshed out.

Hey bebop900, welcome, im sure you will find a huge amount of info you require on this site, alot of the designs on this site to make an Assassins Creed are generally very detailed in difficult to make unless you have specialized tools and machinery.

However if you want to make just a simple wristblade your best to check out these links:

https://sinza.forumotion.com/wrist-blade-projects-f18/i-got-bored-t1051.htm#18842

There is a huge amount of designs you can find here you just need to look.

However, when it comes to buying or selling these "toys" the site has nothing to do with any of that, the site is for people to look and share what other people are doing around the world.
You are welcome to contact each other through emails and organise whateva you want as long as it is not through the site.

Welcome to the site, we all hope you have a lot to learn and to share.

Well, I would say *hey guys, I'm new here* and all that stuff, but that's what everybody else has already done. So I'll try to make is a bit more dramatic.


Commentator: AND HERE HE COMES!!!!!! ENTER THE INFERNO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Inferno comes running into the arena, armed with the most epic xiphoid you have ever seen*

Inferno: ARE YOU READY FOR SOME ACTION!!!!!!!!!!!

Crowd: YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

*Inferno brings out his blades and stabs his opponent in the neck, before activating a xiphoid flamethrower and charring his opponent's dead body*

Crowd: OMG EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Now that that is done with, I want to share a video with you:

You can see my comment at the bottom. I hope one of you blade masters can figure out how this thing works.
