Forearm blades

SideofKO · 02-12-2007, 11:01 PM

This is probably a stupid question but has anyone ever seen anything remotely similar to what the Predators use? Those retractable blades on their forearms that at the touch of a button slide into place much like a switchlblade?

I like collecting exotic weapons but I've never seen them for sale. This is probably due to the fact that they are similar to switchblades, but has anyone seen these?

u mean like the claws wolverine has. i think the bad guy from enter the dragon used something like that.

I actually have a pair of those, where you just hold them and they are claws.

The thing I'm thinking of is something that is mounted on the forearm and inside is a blade that is retractable and locks into place at the press of a button.

not sure what you mean since those were the only pred retractible blades i recall.

there's the bladed tonfa, which runs along the forearm. and i can hold my sword backwords which covers the forearm while the handle can be a striking weapon.

retractable weapons tend to suck anyways since it requires a hollow shaft to be retractable. which means they break easily

Like this but I would just want a single blade instead of the two jagged blades.

I'm unsure of how they would work. I'm assuming it could either be spring loaded or be able to slide out when upside down and they would lock into place, but I see your point about them not being too sturdy. I would just want them for show and to occasionally goof off with, I'm not going to be slashing any androids or anything anytime soon. LOL.

EMPs work better anyway.

Yes there are wolverine baldes which were sold at a gun show in Vegas earlier this year (Or the end of last year). They are illegal as can be but I belive if you google wolverine and knifes you can find it. I will look around and see if I can find the catalogue again.

it may be legal to keep around as collectables

Are they retractable? I'd love to own a pair.
