Description
I got these today, officially licensed replicas of Ezio's vambrace and hidden blade from AC2, made by Museum Replicas. Apparently ment to fit each other perfectly. They dont. I had to spend a few hours modifying the vambrace so the blade would fit in it. The vambrace is HUGE i dont get how it can fit anyone. I had to make 2 holes as close to the edge as i could to pull it tighter and even then was still too big. I put 2 holes in the edge closest to my hand with a lace through it to pull it tighter closed. The bracer thing the blade comes attached to is massive so i took it off that and modded the vambrace so it attached onto that instead of via the bracer. The blade isnt good functionally, you have to hold in a button and manually slide the blade out via a lever rather than by a flick of the wrist as it should work. I got it for display and shot use so it doesnt matter too much but it could be better. It is full metal though and looks good otherwise

Seeing the blade and vambrace together in pics it looks like it would fit fine together but theres nothing for the blade to attach to. Unless your arm is huge and you can get the belts through the holes in the blade and still have the vambrace tight enough to fit you. I tried that method and could only get the 1st hole through the blade with the belts pulled as tight as possible so that doesnt work. I had to add another 2 holes in the middle of the vambrace and lace it to hold onto the blade. Pictures of them show laced bits which hold the blade on the outer of the vambrace but those are NOT on the vambrace, the pictures are very misleading. You seem to have to work out how to make it all work yourself and my set up isnt perfect i might try redoing it sometime

The blade isnt as long as Altair's is but it does still look good
