How to Make the Assassin's Creed Hidden Blade

Step 6 Tips and Advice

A few general tips before attempting this build.

First off, you may want to reinforce the tip and upper section of the blade with duct tape. My tip broke about halfway through the day. It might be fine though if you're just going trick-or-treating, but if you're planning on wearing it a while/stabbing people with it, you'll want to reinforce it.

Buddah_123 suggested cutting some popsicle sticks and adding them to the edges of the blade to reinforce it. This seems like a good idea, and he says it works, so I'll trust him on this.

Second, if I were to do this again, I would use 12 pack cardboard so the bracelet part could be longer. This way, the blade could go further down the arm and be more hidden, compared to what I had with it sticking out on my palm. Also, use tight rubber bands. This will make a better spring and "pop out" effect.

Finally, this can be used with a string attached to the end of the clamp and running through the shirt to the other sleeve. A quick tug, and the blade is released. This takes a bit of practice, but it looks sweet.

I'm sure you can customize it more if you want. Also, if you want to stab people without it breaking (seeing how it's retractable and works like a prop blade) I would suggest some sturdier plastic (not too sturdy), shaping it, and painting it silver.

Overall, be safe, have fun, and enjoy!

I reinforced the edges of my blade with super glue (not hot glue). For the blade its self I used a really strong cardboard from a UPS package. The glue dribbled into the gaps in the side of the cardboard, makeing it stronger on the inside too.

K, how would you get it to stay in place after retracting it back in without taking your shirt off if you are wearing a long sleeve shirt?
