The lights are on
Man at Arms (a.k.a. veteran Hollywood swordsmith Tony Swatton) has made an impressive version of the iconic Assassin's Creed wristblade for his show.
You can watch the Assassin's Creed segment below. It's really interesting to see the process at work, and the end result is very true to the game. Interestingly, Swatton said that the wristblade was by far and away his most requested weapon.

Our Take:As someone who essentially has no actual skills, it's impressive to see someone who knows how to do something well at work, and Swatton is clearly good at what he does. While others have done it, this is the best real-world version of the wristblade.
This guy does some amazing work such as cloud's buster sword, Sokka's space sword (with a real meteorite!), the diamond sword from mine craft, and way more.
I don't know if it's my phone or what, but the video's just won't appear. There is just a blank white spot. Same thing for the 17 min. Batman video. Probably just my crappy Android phone.
Amazing!!!!! I want one!!!!!
These guys rock at what they do! It's so cool to see a modern swordsmith--he puts a lot of effort in these projects.
That was pretty awesome.
It's called a Hidden Blade....
Okay not going to lie, he shoulg et this mass produced by some company... on second thought we'd have to many kids using it and asking their parents for it. So sigh I'll settle for it being the only one in the world.
I like video Interesting maybe Real Super Assassin Creed fight. Good create game to make want real XD.
That is badass!
I've taken jewellery and metal-smith classes before, but that is on an entirely different level. Really cool to see that process. I love what we're capable of when we put our minds to it and work together.
oh new episode hmm
Truly incredible. The mechanism doesn't seem to be working without using both of your hands to unsheathe the hidden blade but it's still radical!
This guy probably has one of the coolest jobs ever. His passion for such an ancient art is amazing!
That's very cool. I would always be afraid that I'd accidentally give myself a stigmata! I wonder if you could get a very thin blade in there, so that you don't have to cut your finger off.
