K'nex Hidden Blade updated

TUTORIAL!: http://knexinnovation.net/showthread.php?1086-Zean-s-Hidden-Blade-and-Instruc...
Added springs, stronger lines in the pulley, a new latch, and a nerf gun?

Anyway, the latch is now triggered by a direct lever at the inner elbow. This frees up the hand for gripping items freely without setting off the mechanism. It also improves appearance.
Regarding the pulley:
Both lines are attached at the front connectors(the wrist) From there, one line wraps underneath the blue rod on the slide mechanism and back to attach to the center green/red rod. It pulls it in when closing and should be tightened while the unit is closed.
The other line wraps over the front of the extension and down to the end of the green/ red rod. The same spot as the previous line. This pulls the green rod out to extended position.
Think of it as one rotating circle bound at two points, the frame and the green/red rod, while being wrapped around the slider. When you move the slider it pulls the strings and the rod along with it.

I made instructions for my minimized version here:
