Assassin's Creed Hidden Blade (Dual Action)

My (Ah-Muhn-Rah) version of the Assassin's Creed Hidden Blade from AC2/BH

I designed it in SolidWorks and made the parts with an Eden 350 printer.
Materials:
Clear: Full Cure 720
Black: Vero Black Full Cure 870

Based on a dual action Out The Front (OTF) Mechanism with a ring driven ratcheting pulley system to index the OTF Mech.

(OTF Mech: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XMpIJ5AspU)

Blade locks in both the extended and retracted positions and can be extended and retracted regardless of arm orientation (no gravity/arm shake required).

Still waiting for Ubiworkshop to make the Desmond hoodie (black version) and then I'll have a complete modern "Myles" assassin costume.

Since I like ALL my fingers and have a dislike for overzealous cops, the non-prototype blade is not remotely sharp / pointy. The " blade " is clear plastic. The silver blade you see is the painted negative space missing from the back side of the clear plastic. The painted back creates the illusion of a real blade.

As for posting files or schematics:
Sorry... as you may have guessed, It took a bit of engineering work to minimize the OTF mech and get the pulley system working. So for now, I'm gunna keep the fine details of the design close to my chest.

Truthfully, I threw this video together in 10 or so minutes because I was just procrastinating being too lazy to edit and cut together my custom lightsaber video.

If you look at my other videos, you'll see I usually spend just a bit more time on their overall quality. Sure my hidden blade is a bit better than most on YouTube (from a mechanism accuracy /size point of view) but I didn't think anyone would get excited about this prop..... Shows you what I know...

now we wait for that video of an unhealed scar in his hand

Very good invention, but can it bear the force to actually strike something?

Won't it break off your hand or destroy the mechanism inside?
