Realm Collections Blog

Hey readers! Sorry about the long delay but we are now back in blog business. OK so a couple of blogs back we talked about a new line of items that are out based on the Assassin’s Creed video game series (there are two games atm I believe). We I am going to do now is kinda review individual items and talk about what makes it so special. We’ll do one at a time and today start with the ‘Amazing Assassin Extension Knife’. With ‘Amazing’ in the name it must be something! Sounds corny to me, I’ll have to look into that.

So lets take a look at this ego-driven Assassin’s Creed collectible shall we. Alone this product is fun but has its limits. This is because there is nothing to hold it to your arm! There are hinges on the sides which you can custom make some straps to secure it. Once you get the glove and vambrace your life will be much easier. With the blade hidden the base measures 10-3/4 inches from tip to tip. The weight is perfect, only 1.2 pounds. The finishing is done by hand but looks professional and not hurried.

While I was bringing out the blade for the first time I was impressed with its size. “Man, how long does this thing get!”. The entire blade (or at least what sticks out) is 8.5 inches and .5-.75 inches wide, Bringing this entire contraption to 18-3/4 inches. Only about 4″ of the blade is naked; the rest is shielded off but not 100% invisible. While it still serves poking purposes (be careful near eyes and other delicate body parts), the blade is unsharpened/dull. All pew pew assassin action stays put in the virtual world. This Assassin’s Creed collectible is all show and tell.

One of my favorite features is the secure lock it has which prevent the blade from engaging/disengaging on its own. To engage the blade you just move the lever found on the base up. Simple enough. So do you just move it down to disengage? No! There is a button (yes, a button) that needs to be pressed before you touch the level. Mastery engineering if you ask me. Well that pretty much sums up this Assassin’s Creed collectible. Catch me next time when I review the impressive Altair Over Tunic With Hood.
