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!!!!

Their is a guy on YouTube that was successfully able to make a hidden blade with the circular motion with the scissor jack. If we are able to get him into the discussion, we might be able to figure out what the actually locking and retracting mechanism is.

He was a member on here but stopped posting, check out the thread "Analysing Ammnra's Hidden Blade" it has everything you need to know.

Alright thanks

Hii everyone!!! I don't know if you guys already know about this but... I'm gonna give you a "head's up" (update)... some kind of company created a replica of the Ezio Auditore's Hidden Blade... it's gonna be out on 10/30/2012 (October 10th, 2012) this HB is gonna be exclusive for the GameStop(for the ones who don't know, it's a BADASS american store) (like some other products. example: Circle Pad Pro (first thing in my mind)) it's gonna cost 40 bucks (US$40,00) If you wanna see it, Google it, I don't know about link rules here so I don't wanna take the risk... google like this: "ezio hidden blade gamestop" it's gonna be the first link (probably)(you can also look for it in the GameStop website), a GameStop link... there's a VIDEO and A LOT of AWESOME PICTURES... it looks like the one from the game and also has the Assassin's Creed Brotherhood(game)'s vambrace (it looks pretty nice) any question or doubts about how the HB extends and retract... just check the video is the GameStop website...

obs: it's not a real weapon, it's made out of plastic... it extends automaticly (SA-OTF) and you have to retract manually, so don't think about using it for illegal stuff!!

Arthur, that's been posted on here for a few months now. We've known about it, and it is already out in a few Gamestops. It's a basic SAOTF, and it doesn't have a good locking mechanism.

Also~ Most of the blades that are designed here are just for show and experimentation. We're not stupid enough to use it for anything illegal or even general use. Because once someone does, we're all screwed.

I didn't know it's already out... in the GameStop website, it says: "Release Date: 10/30/2012", anyway... sorry for the "repost", I didn't know there was already a post about it... anyway... I hope it was helpful for someone somehow... I'll be more carefull next time about posting things like that... BYE!!

Is this possible?
Would steel be an option?
I am not sure about springs and sizes etc
