Assassins Creed Bracer (Complete with [Beta] Hidden Blade and Armor Plates)

last photo ←

This is my first slideshow I've ever made, and I hope you enjoy it. I would make an actual instructable on this, but I didn't take the pictures until this project was aprox. 90% complete. I have tried to take the most detailed shots I can to try and give you the clearest picture on how this was made.

You may have a difficult time making the hidden blade. As far as I know there is no absolute right way to make one, its sort of a "to each his own" sort of thing. The most accurate way to go about it is to purchase a telescoping tai chi sword from a martial arts store/website, but these usually come at 25+ dollars. Besides I wanted to go for a more DIY approach, and mine may be one of the best ways to make it out of scrap materials. No Tai Chi sword. No cabinet sliders. Just two pens, a chopstick, sandpaper and tape.

The plates are also made of scrap material. If you have one of those cheap school binders, especially if the rings are broken, I highly suggest using them, the cardboard in them is pretty strong since it's not corrugated.

The gloves were old, and the fabric of the bracer was scrap, hotglued together (I can't sew).

lol wow. in reality you wouldn't have to for either one. just move your finger. in the game it was considered a "sacrifice" to the blade. some sort of assassins dedication. jeez people.

Jul 10, 2010. 2:39 PMtaegin says:

no ever sacraficed a finger, that was a joke by leonardo :P

Aug 5, 2010. 10:12 PMpokerstud001 says:

Altair did, Leonardo said it used to require it, but he modified it so Ezio didn't have to

Jul 22, 2009. 2:03 PMtoaignika says:

You could make Ezio's blades and not have to cut off your ring finger. Leonardo da Vinci made it so that the blade was held farther away from the wrist. This is all from Assassin's Creed 2 of course.

Jan 14, 2010. 5:03 PMKendallkip says:

no, leonardo just fixed the blade

Dec 22, 2009. 5:05 AMshams says:

leonardo didnt made it.........Altair Ibn Al - Ahad made it

Dec 30, 2009. 4:15 PMtoaignika says:

Ummm, no. Altair did not make the hidden blade... it was given to him by the Assassin's Creed when he was a master assassin.

Dec 31, 2009. 7:49 AMshams says:

bro you are out of the line.....we are talking about the double blade that ezio got....which didnt need to remove the ring finger.........

Feb 6, 2010. 9:47 PMuzum4 says:

sorry but you're both wrong. Neither Altair nor leonardo "made" any hidden blade. Leonardo just fixed some of them and built the BLUEPRINTS that Altair DESIGNED. Altair didnt make any, he just drew blueprints of upgrades for the hidden blade. Which where encripted into the Codex pages. so bottom line, leonardo built what altair drew.

Jul 10, 2010. 12:05 PMBaddi says:

Leonardo build and fixed it so ezio didi'nt have to sacrafise his finger for it it appears in the game ps sorry for my bad spelling

Dec 17, 2009. 12:02 PMblubbersmith says:

also, there is not that much armor on ezios hidden blade

Dec 30, 2009. 1:10 AMwatzhisface says:

what are you talking about leonardo puts an armour plate on it so he can block

Jan 25, 2010. 4:14 AMshams says:

actually the great muslim assassin Altair designed it....and leo jst built it

Dec 31, 2009. 9:57 PMsaxman31 says:

ezios blade uses a mechanism that works like wheel lock to extend and retract the blade. also in assassins creed 2 only ezios second blade is made by Leonardo. his first blade was only fixed by Leonardo.

Dec 17, 2009. 12:01 PMblubbersmith says:

altair has his hidden blade on his left hand not right

Nov 21, 2009. 9:19 PMsmilerofall says:

Pff you still have your last two fingers. This isn't complete.

Jul 10, 2009. 9:27 PMGnomeMaster says:

you mean the ring finger on the pinky as well

Apr 26, 2009. 12:36 AMfenrisilver (author) says:

Your right, its still a work in progress

Jul 10, 2009. 9:26 PMGnomeMaster says:

Okay, unlike this altairs blade is a dagger, not a spike like everyone does. i know because of the attached photo and if you are planing on having an altair costume work on the bracer more
