The Hidden Blade (Assassin’s Creed) Deserves More Credit!
In late 2014 I made a video about whether the hidden blade from the Assassin’s Creed series would be practical in real life. I was skeptical of it and criticized it for several shortcomings, compared to a conventional knife or dagger. It’s time to re-visit the topic... Now I have two 3D printed reproductions to get a feel for and demonstrate.
Has my opinion changed? You bet! Let’s take a dive into over-thinking how realistic this iconic video game weapon is. :)
The badass hidden blades I’m showing off in this video are made by Rawice Creations:
