Intro: Hidden Blade
Almost Ezio-quality hidden blade :)
Full costume or 2010 Halloween can be found at the link below:
http://www.instructables.com/id/Ezio-Costume/

http://www.instructables.com/id/Hidden-Blade/
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)
L-brackets (8 of them) @ special discount, I got 100 for 35 cents :)
That adds up to about $10.50
Not bad!!!
Image Notes
1. This is a magnet, it is not used!

Image Notes
1. blade / letter opener
2. size 6 steel nuts
3. assortment of washers
4. L-Brackets
5. 2" size 6 bolt
6. tiny size 6 bolts
7. ring
8. magnet, not used
9. rubber bands
10. size 6 nuts (brass)
11. size 10 nut (brass)
12. mini size 6 nuts
13. cotter pins
Step 2: Assembly step 1
Grab one of the drawer sliders and slide it as far apart as it will go. Measure on your arm about how long you want the casing of the hidden blade to be. (mine is about
7~9 inches, i forget exactly how long).
Grip the slider firmly and saw off the extra slider (the wider part)
You should be able to slide the thinner slider part out of the wider one. Do so. We are going to throw away the thinner part, but first we need to get the other smaller piece
attached to it.
Bend down the piece shown in the 3rd picture with a pliers. Carefully (and close to the ground) slide off the piece with the ball bearings. Keep this piece along with the
ball bearings.
Refer to picture 5 to see what we are keeping.
Go to next step.

1. cut!

1. keep this piece
2. we are throwing this piece away
3. keep this too
4. <---[edit] : in a version of these blades that I'm not going to post, I made a
stronger version of the hidden blade by keeping a small part of this piece... ignore
this for now though :)
http://www.instructables.com/id/Hidden-Blade/
Image Notes
1. keep
2. keep
3. keep
4. throw away
Step 3: Assembly step 2
Pick up that smaller piece that used to have the ball bearings on it.
Cut it so that it is only six holes long (as in picture).
Estimate where you will want the blade to be fastened.
Drill holes through blade and slidy thingy so that you can put bolts through them both along with nuts to tighten them.
Tighten the nuts and bolts securely (as tight as they go!).
Then, put 8 of the ball bearings back on, on the back / bottom 4 holes on each side (see picture 6). Slide the whole thing back into the large slider (picture 7).
Examine its beauty and try it out :) just don't lose the ball bearings!!!
Next step!
http://www.instructables.com/id/Hidden-Blade/
http://www.instructables.com/id/Hidden-Blade/
Step 4: Assembly step 3
Alright, this is a short step.
We are working on the side of the blade casing with the butt of the blade. This is to keep the blade from sliding into your elbow / arm / face / whatever. It is the back of the
casing. NOT THE POINTY END!!!
Drill a small hole (just wide enough for your size 6 bolt) through the L-bracket just above one of the other holes already in it, and near the bend. (picture 1)
Drill another hole to match this one on the casing (not the blade or the slidy thingy we attached it to), the wide casing.
Attach as shown in pictures 2 and 3.
Tighten a bolt / nut. (tight!)
Easy! Next step!
http://www.instructables.com/id/Hidden-Blade/
Step 5: Assembly step 4
Make another one of those L-brackets have an extra hole in it. Attach it onto the other L-bracket as shown in pictures 2 and 3.
Since this step is so short, I will add another part to this step... (also, I forgot to document it with pictures, kinda, but its easy anyways!)
Remember that wider slider thing from the first assembly step? get another one of those, exactly the same length, through whatever means necessary!
Thats all. Its shown in picture 4 also as the wide slider below the one we just made. We will also be using it in the next step!
http://www.instructables.com/id/Hidden-Blade/
Step 6: Assembly step 5
Another easy step. Drill a hole in the other wide slider to attach to the last L-bracket attached. Pretty easy to see in the pictures.
Step 7: Assembly step 6
The key. This is what allows you to open and close the blade.
This step uses the 2" long size 6 bolt with a whole jumble of nuts and washers on it to hold everything in place. You will also need the longer of the two cotter pins that
you have. Along with 2 more L-brackets.
Add a size 10 nut to the cotter pins before bending them so that they will remain together while the blade is in use.
Bend the cotter pin to have one end be the pin that sticks into the casing and the other end form a loop to tie a string to. (do this part at the very end of the whole
assembly)
Hints:
Have the L-brackets facing each other.
Have the cotter pin in the middle.
Maybe have larger washers around the cotter pin (?).
Just follow the pictures, easier than words!
http://www.instructables.com/id/Hidden-Blade/
Image Notes
1. cotter pin
http://www.instructables.com/id/Hidden-Blade/
Step 8: Assembly step 7
In this step we will attach the "key" from the last step and mount it onto our casing. It will go on the back of the second wide slider that we cut.
Drill two holes appropriately spaced to fit the "key" into the wide slider.
Hold it on and judge about where the pin will need to go through the casing. Drill a long and wide gouge into the casing there. (Picture 3)
***IMPORTANT!***
To place it in the right spot, you must have the key already bent how you want it. The tip of the key's cotter pin must fall onto the first wide slider when the blade is all the
way out. The key's cotter pin tip should be designed to catch the blade when it hits something and tries to go back. This is what locks the blade!
*********************
Continue to the next step once you are satisfied with this.
http://www.instructables.com/id/Hidden-Blade/
Step 9: Assembly step 8
Almost there!
Grab 2 more of those L-brackets. And a pliers...
Bend the L-brackets flat to start. Then bend them as shown in picture 1 on the right. Bend both sides to look like this.
Hint:
After looking at the next step you might have a better idea of how to do this...
Image Notes
1. This will hold the sliders together.
http://www.instructables.com/id/Hidden-Blade/
Step 10: Assembly step 9
Last step!!! Woot! (I never thought I would ever type that)
Even better, half this step is optional!!!
They don't do anything, but if you want to know how I made mine exactly, then read... I'll tell you when to listen again for real.
Grab two more L-brackets and fold them over themselves.
Hold the "key" in place and hold the previous step along with this step in place too while you carefully push a small bolt through the holes (all the way through the key's Lbracket holes) and attach a nut from the key's side. Tighten as tight as it can go. Then fold and crimp the L-bracket on the bottom over the bolt head. (Picture 4)
Alright, Listen again. You DO have to follow these instructions...
Fit the two wide sliders together as shown in picture 5.
...I must admit, I forgot one picture... You should have one cotter pin left over, right?
Well, it simply goes right through those holes of the L-bracket. (Picture 6). Then bend the ends of the cotter pin so it can NEVER get out :)
Ok, I also lied, there is one small step left.
Attach rubber band over the cotter pin (look at finished pictures) of the key.
Also, tie a string (I used kevlar thread, use whatever you want) to that loop on the key's cotter pin. Have the string attach onto a ring that goes on one of your fingers (tie it
to the ring). Tune the length of the string so that the hidden blade operates as you like!
To open or close blade, pull on string and hold the blade either up or down, or fling it open / shut. Release tension in string to lock it into whatever mode it is in! The key
catches underneath to keep it open, and pushes against the blade to keep it firmly still when closed.
http://www.instructables.com/id/Hidden-Blade/
Image Notes
1. push cotter pin through here!
Step 11: Finished
Enjoy your hidden blade! I found that mine can stab through everything I've tried so far!
CAUTION: Do not stab people, etc...
I made two of these exact blades for a halloween costume (each for a different person). And one other for my younger brother of a different (worse) design :) There are
some fun videos we made with it though, it does work, just not as pretty!
I have not finished the vampbrace completely that will hold these, but I do have designs and the materials :) The rest of the costume is on the way, not showable yet
though!

Step 12: Strap-on :)
Here are just a few pictures of the blade with the straps and glove attached. More pictures can be seen at the link at the top of the page!
Image Notes
1. ring to manipulate blade
2. button to pull elastic and clothe around my wrist to keep the blade tight
3. elastic band around my arm
4. nice glove sewn to the cloth and elastic that holds the blade onto my wrist
http://www.instructables.com/id/Hidden-Blade/
Image Notes
1. pull back your ring finger to pull the string attached to the ring and blade
mechanism to allow movement of the blade (as in retract or release)
Image Notes
1. whole blade stayed quite well and didn't make any noise at all. Nor did it
move around on my arm at all. Perfect!

Is there something else that I could put in place of the letter opener? Just to play it safe you know.
dehlome says:
Jan 20, 2011. 12:03 PM REPLY
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.

I have only question: It have automatic retract sistem when you release the trigger?
dehlome says:
Jan 19, 2011. 12:37 PM REPLY
No, it uses gravity to pull it back into the casing.
you know me says:
Dec 4, 2010. 1:34 PM REPLY
Ok, before I get started making this (Actualy before I get materials). Is this version able to stab without the blade retracting? Does this blade just slide out and
not lock into place?
http://www.instructables.com/id/Hidden-Blade/
Ardillas says:
Dec 8, 2010. 4:59 PM REPLY
The blade WILL lock into place once out. This does not mean that it is indestructible though! You can stab through a lot, but I wouldn't know how to
describe the breaking force that the blade possesses.
LostRite says:
Dec 11, 2010. 3:46 PM REPLY
Yeah, what Ardillas said
dehlome says:
Jan 8, 2011. 5:55 PM REPLY
also, you might want to sharpen your blade to actualy stab through things

well I finally completed my own version. I decided to slim it down a bit by not putting another bracket on top (as a top cover) I basically built the entire thing
based on memory and improvisation after viewing this instructable a week prior. I had to modify the design a bit, regarding to the cotter pin mechanism.
Because the materials I used were slightly different (as in different brands, etc) my blade/ball bearing mechanism wasnt heavy enough to slide downward on
gravity alone. so I attached a 3mm piece of steel to the top of it. This worked out perfectly because that allowed my cotter pin to clip to the back of the steel.
This was necessary because my local hardware store didnt have any cotter pins that were longer in stock so I wouldnt have been able to clip around the
entire mechanism. also, I'm not sure if this is how yours is, but my blade stays retracted by the force of the cotter pin pushing down on the flat side of the
blade. It's effective, but the problem is sometimes the blade can slip down just a bit so the tip is poking out of the top of the device. I'm designing a cap that
affixes to the cotter pin that would open when the string is pulled and close when it is released. This project makes me sad I never do cosplay. I'd make a
sick ezio now (and for the record, ezio>altair. altair is kind of a cocky jerk)
dehlome says:
Jan 8, 2011. 5:52 PM REPLY
To awnser your question, yes the pin uses rubber bands to push the blade down and lock it in. I used 2 rubber bands and it wroks great, my only problem
is that the elastic I used to mount it to my arm kinda cuts the circulation off a little bit.
dehlome says:

Is it wise to be instructing people on how to build concealed weapons? What happens when this technology makes its way into our schools? Seriously. Many
schools already have security and metal detectors. One kid gets stabbed by a weapon like this and instead of starting the day with the Pledge of Allegiance
or kids are going to be starting the day with a morning TSA Style Pat Down.

The internet teaches makes technology far worse than this readily available to anyone with an enabled computer. It is (arguably) a drawback of the
internet. But it is a reality. Information is becoming free, and responsibility is becoming more and more personal. Complaining about it won't change it,
nor will anything else. Take steps to adapt to it and move on is my philosophy. If you do not want to view such content, or do not want your children to
view such content, you have the ability and responsibility to block sites and monitor internet activity until your children are responsible enough to make
their own decisions.

dude, I think that any kid even if they are stupid wouldn't be that stupid.
Naitsirhc says:
Dec 20, 2010. 9:42 PM REPLY
you are underestimating just how stupid, stupid kids can be.
theubster says:
Jan 5, 2011. 8:24 AM REPLY
yeah, but you are assuming that most kids will take the opportunity to stab their enemies in a school. Not the case. If a kid is going to be stupid or
try and stab someone, not knowing how to make and assassins creed style blade will not stop them. A regular old pocket knife will do. Or a chair.
Or a pencil. Or a gun. We are surrounded by weapons, some more potent than others, and we have to trust one another enough to assume we
won't be stabbed at any given moment....
Naitsirhc says:
Jan 6, 2011. 11:53 AM REPLY
Yeah its true if a kid is pushed to the edge and they snap they might try to get that kid with anything they have at there disposal, but many
kids will bide there time, take time to make a hit list and that kind of stupid thing. Kids can have a flair for the dramatic. You can't tell me that
the Columbine kid wasn't thinking about "The Matrix." when he shot up his school.
Ringley says:
Jan 8, 2011. 2:43 AM REPLY
It doesn't matter if a kid is going to take their time or not... There are many more instructions for making weapons all over the internet.
Complaining about this one specifically isn't going to do anything to hinder the hundreds, even thousands of others that are posted all
over the web.
If a kid is stupid enough, and angry enough, to want to kill others, you can't blame the people who are teaching others to make weapons.
Knives, guns, and any other kind of weapon DON'T kill people. People kill people. Someone with the intent to kill others is going to find
whatever way to do so that they can, with or without the internet's help.
As far as your comment about The Matrix goes, maybe he was, and maybe he wasn't. The point is that it isn't the media that is killing
people. Games like Grand Theft Auto or Saints Row aren't telling people that it is okay to kill others. The only kids that will be "stupid"
enough to start having thoughts like that are kids who have some kind of mental instability. There are far more normal, non-violent
children than psychopathic potential murderers in this world.
lunius says:

Exactly. Many people who view this may be like me, wishing to make a prop version for recreational use. My Parkour group is
beginning to lean towards an Assassin's theme, and making a paper or cardboard blade like this would do wonders for our demo
videos.
I have seen much worse stuff than this on the internet.. I can tell you how to make napalm at home for roughly $5 per gallon, I can
show you how to make an RGD-5 Hand Grenade, how to dig and cover a pungee pit to match the location. I can tell you how to make
a throwing knife out of a blank CD, and a caltrop out of needles. I can build a small forge and forge knives with old soda cans. I
learned all this from the internet, and have not ONCE seen ANY of these employed in a school. At my high school, there have been
bomb threats and gun threats, and many kids carry knives for their own protection, but not one of them would bother attacking
someone in a place with cameras and police officers.
Even mentally unstable people have a basic grasp of common sense.

Heeeeeeyyy awesome, awesome, blade and everything, just one question. Can you be a bit more specific on the drawer slide's specs? Because I went to
Home Depot and there were waaaay more than I thought. Thanks!
LostRite says:
Dec 11, 2010. 3:46 PM REPLY
hmmm.... lets see what I recall, I think about 1" wide sliders, the sliders were way longer than needed but that was ok since I cut them down to size
(lengthwise). Pretty sure they were 1" wide though.... whatever fits the blade inside though I suppose!

Hey what stores are good for these supplies, cuz i went to walmart and office depot, home depot, etc and they all have too much of something, i want to buy
like the amount u listed, so any good stores u can think of? Thanks :)
P.s. Very magnifico idea, i agree with shymt
dnsd99 says:
Nov 29, 2010. 6:03 PM REPLY
Chances of that are slim-and-none. Just go with the amount closest to what you have. That way you don't have too much extra.

the blade part is just an envelope opener that I got from office depot or office max (I can never remember which one is which) really cheap! (less than a
dollar each)

Pretty cool, with specialty parts, it could be perfect. Also, a single-handed trigger would make it easier to use, though probably a bit harder to make.

Oh, from the video it looked like you needed one hand for the string, and the other to hit the upper part of the key.

I want to build this but I'm having trouble finding the most important part..
the drawer sliders.
I found everything else with ease. My local Walmart doesn't carry the drawer sliders, and I'm not quite sure where else to look.

Is there a hardware store (Home Depot, Menards, Ace hardware, etc...) nearby?

This seems needlessly clunky. You could probably trim that down a little bit.

Instead of adding two nuts to the bolt, you could use a #6 lock washer to keep everything in place.

These things are awesome, but I always felt that they should mount and extend from the other side of your arm, so the blade would be above your hand. It
would be more noticeable, but I think there would be a much smaller chance of cutting yourself (since your fingers and hand naturally tend to be positioned
towards the underside of your arm). I think I'm going to make one like that- I'll share the results if it works
