The Assassins Guild Tactical Gauntlet - Stainless Steel Blade, Faux Leather And Nylon Canvas Arm Sheath - Length 12”

Being a long time fan of Assassin's Creed, I was very excited to find a real hidden blade instead of some prop or toy you can find on the shelves of Walmart or Amazon. When I put this bracer on, and pull out the blade, I can imagine the feeling of having a blade outside the normal view of others, ready to strike seemingly unarmed. However, this product does not come without its faults. To start with the obvious, the Blade does not have a spring lock mechanism to automatically pull out the blade like the games. I understand why due to safety reasons but I think it takes away the novelty of feeling like an assassin. Next, much like the other version of the hidden blade (which sold out) this one almost requires you to be either bulky on the forearm or wear some clothes under it to keep it stable and/or prevent it from jiggling on your arm too much (as seen in my photo). It can be worn on skinnier arms (like myself) without layers but it can become very annoying. Overall, if you look past its minor inconveniences, this hidden blade is a great addition to some collections and maybe good for self-defense.
