do you know how hard it is to cut through hardened steel? not all people have diamond-coated dremel bits

[Micizzle]

You can make a pretty realistic knife from duct tape, so there's always that.

[lilpepsikraker]

uhh yeah, but they are $7 on ebay. a simple 2 second google search proved that.

[ReCreate]

Wow really there are diamond coated bits?

[tristantech]

Oooh. I want one

[ReCreate]

Yeah :D

[stupidstickanimations]

i might just make the knife part and put it on a dummies neck (my brother maybe?)

[hackmattr]

 It would've been better to make the whole knife out of wood and hide the tubing in the handle. thats only if you want it to be shown on both sides.

[xproplayer]

lovely pick of knives if you can cut through the whole thing with one blad roflmao

This is very excited.

[Walikai]

have fun cutting through hardened steel with a dremel ; )

I think its cool, but can't see this being used in a Halloween costume. you need to secure it to your arm. to me it also seems inconvenient, if not impossible to collect Halloween candy while holding that thing up to your arm.

A good job and well explained instructable! In my opinion "Tech" section is not an apppropriate classification. The content is not "Tech".

[XaiofDren]

Couldn't you just use a plastic knife that looks realistic? Or mod it to look realistic?

[Camisado]

Just to safe some google search: Fake blood: Water+Cornstarch+Food coloring ( works for me )

[LoopyMind]

Maybe it's a good idea to dull the blade with the Dremel before doing this...

[Kiteman]

Step 3, third paragraph - dull all the edges.

[LoopyMind]

ah yes, but step 3 is AFTER you've put a sharp cleaver to your arm to mark the cut out part... i would dull the blade before putting it on my arm... but then again, scars like that are cool..

[Kiteman]

I think, if somebody is daft enough to cut their arm at the preparation stage, then they probably shouldn't be allowed sharp things anyway.

[LoopyMind]

true true :) but there's probably a lot of them out there, more then you and i both might think :)

[bounty1012]

Lol

[bounty1012]

Hehehe... Nice effect

[joey2542667]

in the movie, you looked at a different arm then was shown. lol, anyways, cool!

[timmy1234s]

it almost made me faint! Looked real.

[moesboy]

[moesboy]

[mweston]

I enjoyed the bad jokes and cheezy facial expressions - they made my day :-)

[TRIPLEC]

[CarStalkerZ]

[steelraven]

Lol, awesome FX )

[=SMART=]

Haha cool ! one question, how do you pump the blood if one arm is being cut and the other is holding the knife?

[Lego man]

Squeeze with your armpit. he he.

[GorillazMiko]

Your thumb holding the knife squeezes the bulb.
