Just make sure that blade is high-density foam, and the spring doesn't lock... I don't know how old your son is, but you KNOW he's going to end up ramming it into one of his friends to "assassinate" them.
 
I know it wouldn't be as "cool" as the ring pull style telescoping blade, but you might be able to make one out of aluminum that can be flicked out without any spring (or a retracting method as well). It would sort of be like an asp baton or the like, but would obviously be able tap back with just a medium thump with your hand.

Also, depending on the age of the kid and his size, you might be able to get away with one of those plastic out the front plastic switchblades. You can find them in several different sizes in most of the larger novelty shops. All they are is basically a stabbing gag knife where the blade retracts. However, these have a catch so that they can be switched out like an automatic. Not a cool as Altair's get up, but it should make the point.

On an off topic note, that game was very, very disappointing. I thought I was going to get Medieval Hitman, but I got hack and slash through a million guards, run, hide, repeat.
 
If the end piece is rigid foam, the two (middle, and hilt) other blade parts might be pieced together from other plastic sword blades. They would be hollow which would allow it all to collapse into itself. The rigid foam (blade tip) could be shaped (maybe) using a hot wire.

Of course we want to see pics when this contraption is finished.

all da best,
rats...

p.s. If you are successful, mall ninjas around the world will beat a path to your door.
 
if you look closely you will see on his pinke that their is a ring with a sting on it......he pulls it back once to active the blade a secord to pull it back

It wouldn't work if he had his ring finger, since he would have to be like wolverine and be able to regenerate it for that to work!!

It could be a spring mechanism of some sort, like push a button and it comes out, but then you would have to get an entirely fake hand. The mechanism wouldn't work effectively for just a small finger.

Museum Replicas has a fully licensed outfit now. The knife isn't too horribly expensive and you could blunt it for safety. More expensive and less fun but more authentic.
 
well ive started designs on an actual 'leathal' hidden blade based on the pic the colonel put up but it may work. ill add details as we get along (my friend and i are gonna try 2 make it) but it WILL work, tho we will use a different approach and put the "trigger" on either the ring finger or around the hand, whatever works the best.

That thing would be awesome... for about 10 mins. My luck I'd go to scratch myself and end up in the ER.
