“

Sorry to "pop in" unannounced! Click to listen — The Spy

”

The Sharp Dresser is a promotional melee weapon for the Spy. It is based on the hidden blade used by Ezio Auditore da Firenze in the video game Assassin's Creed: Revelations; a blade with a hook shaped like an eagle's head, worn under the Spy's sleeve.

This weapon functions identically to the standard Knife, but cannot perform the Fencing taunt kill.

This item was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-ordered Assassin's Creed: Revelations on Steam before November 29, 2011 in the United States and before December 1, 2011 in other countries.
