Step 1 Ingredients

This whole blade was pretty cheap. Price breakdown:

• Drawer sliders (2) @ $3 for 2 sets (Axmans surplus store!)
• Ring @ $1.50 each (Target clearance shelf)
• Rubber bands @ practically free...
• Letter opener (AKA blade) @ $1 each (Office Depot)
• Cotter pins (2) @ ~$0.20 each (Hardware store)
• Nuts-size 6
  • brass ones (11) @ $0.09 each (Hardware store)
  • steel ones (~12) as filling on long bolt @ $0.08 each (Hardware store)
  • size 10 brass @ $0.25 each (Hardware store)
• Washer
  • size 6 (8 of them) @ $0.08 each (Hardware store)
  • size 10 (8 of them) @ $0.08 each (Hardware store)
• Bolt
  • tiny size 6 (8 of them) @ $0.08 each (Hardware store)
  • 2" long size 6 @ $0.08 each (Hardware store)

That adds up to about $10.50
Not bad!!!

If you'd installed a spring connecting the end of the blade to the back of the drawer slide, the spring tension would keep it retracted, to deploy it you'd need to give it a little momentum with a flick of the wrist, but at least that way when you release it, it retracts by itself.

Thats SOOOO freaking Awesome Im gonna make one for sure

[assassinscreedFan10]

im addicted I have not played one other game for months almost a year and i made my own hidden blade out of k-nex and a band

[kramerllama]

Can you provide the exact measurments of the bolts and nuts rather than size 10, or size 6?

[assassino]

is that a dual action(get out and come back) hidden blade or not?

[assassins creed 19]

dude that thing is so beast.im addictid to assassins creed. im soooooo gonna make that,.!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how did you come up with that desighn?

[gmarome]

awesome. I was going to make my own model of the hidden blade that was spring loaded but my friend said that I would blast my hand off. much better design.

[curvy77]

smart friend. hope you listen.

[idibenedetto]

You're pathetic lmfao

[assassinscreedFan10]

lmfao is not pathetic they are BEAST

[woodstock246]

Is there something else that I could put in place of the letter opener? Just to play it safe you know.

[Super-Blinky]

A pole with a flag saying 'BANG!'

[Asherzzz6677]

The letter opener should have a rounded tip. If not you could just selotape a draw slider to your arm?! :)

[dehlome]

You could use a nail file, but the letter opener I got had a rounded tip, and even if I tryed to stab through something it would push back and move the cotter pin over it.

[aweis]

what keeps the blade from coming out when you don't want it?

[Asherzzz6677]

The split/cotter pin (I think) :)

[DeathCon88]

Nice costume. :3 Does the blade retract if pressure is applied to the blade's tip?

[Asherzzz6677]

Watch the video at the end :)

[BeliigerantJ]

I like how there is a bloody bandaid in one of these pictures.

[Asherzzz6677]

*Plaster :)

[znading]

how big are the rubber bands???????

[Izn]

How did you drill holes in the metal?

[Jamu3l]

with a drill?

[sozaki]

I dont understand the sizes you put... In my area, (Louisiana), nobody understood the size 10 or size 8 concept, as we need measurements.. If anyone knows about this, please reply :C

BTW, i use Ace Hardware

[splat32]

pretty sure he means
6mm diameter x whatever length

6mm inner diameter, that is

[vreid1]

That's what she said. lolololol

[iamblackjesus]

could you make that where you don't need that many nuts

[Jidokashi]

That's what she said.

[vreid1]

xD I was going to say that
Giggidy.

[SgtJellyfish]

This is an epic blade! Im gonna make on this weekend!

[hihiyoyo7]

would anyone be willing to make me one and ship it, i will pay. E-mail me at [e-mail] and if it breaks (not because i did something to cause it) may i get my money back or get a replacement?

[narcuri]

Doin it.

[Zazzles]

Do you know what brand of drawer slide you used?

[aqdi7]

thanks, this is very cool instruction to make a hidden blade...

:)

[iamblackjesus]

how would i attach it to a leather wrist band like they have on the game

[ccody1]

buy a leather bracer long enough to cover it, cut slits into it, slide thin strips of leather (with buckles) through slits, strap the blade on

[Jakdaman]

Anyone ever told you that you look like George Harrison? :D

[iamblackjesus]

the key looks a little to pushed out could you make it closer to the drawer sliders

[tyler9050]

what if you cant find a draw slider thingy with ball bearings in them?
