	When not used in open combat, the Pivot Blade could be retracted into the Hidden Blade configuration for stealthy assassinations. Moreover, the blade had utility in the wilderness.<ref name="ACShadows"/><ref name="AC3"/> Since it was double-edged with one side serrated, it was handy for skinning animals, and Ratonhnhaké:ton often employed this unique feature while [[hunting]].<ref name="AC3"/>		When not used in open combat, the Pivot Blade could be retracted into the Hidden Blade configuration for stealthy assassinations.

	By the early 18th century, the Chinese Assassins had developed a unique Hidden Blade modification, designed to accommodate a [[rope dart]] instead of a blade.
