With the blade assembly finished, there are only a few more things to do before we can assemble the Hidden Blade mechanism. Making the back stop of the Hidden Blade This will be the piece that keeps the blade from shooting out the back of the hidden blade when it is retracted. Start by drilling a hole in the center of your modified bracket. Next lay this piece on top of the outside slide as shown in the picture and use it as a template to drill a hole through the outside slide so the two can be bolted together.Drilling holes for attaching the Hidden Blade to the bracer Take this time to drill a few holes down the center of the outside slide, (3 or 4 holes should be plenty). These holes will be used to mount the Hidden Blade to the bracer later on in this instructable. Drill the holes just big enough for the shank of the rapid rivets to fit through.
Alright this is the home stretch! Simply take your coil spring and bend down a few coils at either end so that you can loop them around the bolt posts on the blade assembly and bracket as shown in the picture. This spring will act as the retracting force that pulls the hidden blade into the closed position. You may have to remove a few coils from the spring with your wire cutters to adjust the tension so that the blade retracts with enough force to completely close. Once you have the spring adjusted to the proper tension simply screw nuts onto the posts where the spring is attached to hold it in place. And that's it! Part one of the build is finished and you should now have a functional Hidden Blade Mechanism. To deploy the blade give it a quick flick of the wrist, the force of gravity will overpower the coil spring letting the blade deploy and allowing the flat spring to click into place locking the blade in the extended position. When you want to retract the blade all you have to do is pull the flat spring out of the depression in the blade, and coil spring will pull the blade closed. Later on in the Instructable we will be attaching a ring to the flat spring via a piece of string so that you can disengage the lock through the movement of your hand. On to making the bracer!!

With the hidden blade mechanism finished it is time to move on to the bracer. The bracer is made of two pieces of leather, one that fits the underside of your arm and supports the hidden blade and another that fits the top of your arm and is more decorative. The two sections are attached to each other with button snaps so that it is easy to put on and take off the hidden blade. The key to building a nice bracer is to design it to your measurements, so measure oftern and measure well! To start measure the diameters of your wrist and your forearm and add about 1/4" to 1/2" to each measurement for comfort. With these measurements create a pattern on your posterboard like the one pictured. Note that the black marker lines are my measurements and the orange marker lines are the actual pattern. As the bracer wraps around your arm it helps to have the top and bottom arced as pictured so that they fit your wrist and forearm better. Once you're pleased with your pattern cut it out and test fit it to your wrist, I found the sharp corners on my pattern to be uncomfortable so I rounded them off. Make adjustments until you are pleased with the fit and then set this part of the pattern aside. Grab another sheet of poster board and cut out a rectangle that is the same height as your bracer, (9 inches for me), with a width of about 4 inches, this will become the decorative top part of the bracer. Using tape test fit the bottom and top of the bracer together on your arm so you can get a sense of what the bracer will look like and feel like. If you're pleased with your patterns you can move on to the next step. Note that I made some decorative cuts in my top piece of poster board; these aren't necessary but they do add to the look of the finished bracer.
So far so good!! You should now have both the Hidden Blade and the bracer finshed and all that is left to do is put them together. Start by partially disassembling the hidden blade. Disconnect the coil spring and remove the blade to give you access to the holes you drilled for connecting the Hidden Blade to the bracer earlier. Now line the outside slide up with the underside of your bracer and use a marker to transer the location of the attachment holes. Once the bracer is marked, create the holes. Now use your rapid rivets to rivet the blade to the bracer as shown in the GIF image. 3 or 4 rivets will be enough to securely hold the blade mechanism to the bracer. Alright, only one more small step until you have a finished Hidden Blade, continue on to the next step to learn how to attach the ring that activates the blade release.
It's an unpredictable world out there, and you never know when you might need a blade for protection. The best place to hide one is along your forearm, where it's at the ready when a tricky situation gets out of hand. Read on to learn how to make a hidden blade that straps to your arm and flicks out with a twitch of your finger.
This is the Mk11 Single and Hybrid blade model that I have shown on my YouTube channel and is the same model as the hidden blades I sell on my Etsy with the newer Mk11 upgrades! I have spent around 6 years perfecting this mechanism to the point where I am confident it will out perform any other OTF style hidden blade using a similar mechanism. I've loved sharing these with you guys for the past few years and it is now finally time for me to gift you guys the files which you have requested since I first started posting videos on my 3D printed design! Thankyou for any and all support! The Blade works just like the game with each pull of the string causing the blade to come out and lock and then retract and lock!
Get ready cosplay enthusiast and makers alike we are going to make something you all know about Its called the Assassins Creed Hidden blade.Its designed by me based from all the videos I've watched in youtube with out having an exact blueprint that has dimensions on it. All I really did was i kept on rewatching the same video over and over and over again until I got each part to work inside my head. After that I drew some templates that would fit my arm, then from that I started designing/ modelling and printing my own parts.The blade is not 100% complete but it works like a charm the only thing missing here is the automatic pull back mechanism where the blade goes back inside automatically, instead you flick a switch to retract it back but popping it out is no problem since that is the main goal of this hidden blade. Worry not I will soon make another ibles wherein the dual action works properly. But to do that I need you full attention and support to make this happen because I just started 3D modelling in sketchup and Autocad So feel free to message me and ask for the .skp or Dwg files C'mon and lets help one another.
And if you noticed the hole on the switch you can attach a string going to your ring and from that you can turn the hidden knife into a hidden blade! its just a single action not the dual action you are looking for but dont worry I will be posting another build that features the dual action hidden blade
Phantom blade, latest and perharps the deadliest weapon from the Ubisoft franchise Assassin's Creed. Fans including me would die for one. Unfortunately many fans around the globe can't own the official replica (toy) of hidden blade, due to shipping and tons of other troubles... And most tutorial online require 3-D printing or pep file components, which is not handy neither (in Hong Kong at least)...Here is my little attempt to solve this problem with a papercraft approach, the human pep again...haha... BTW Thx for the suggestion for this project, i really had fun finishing it!! 2ff7e9595c
