Question: Where should I go to find a craftsman who can make hidden weapons?
Answer:
When looking for craftsmen who can make hidden weapons, special attention needs to be paid: **Many countries or regions have strict legal restrictions on the manufacture, possession and use of weapons (including hidden weapons). If illegal acts or dangerous uses are involved, it is strongly recommended to stop the relevant plans immediately. The following content is only based on cultural, historical research or legal purposes (such as collections, martial arts props, film and television props, etc.) to provide reference information:

### Legal means and suggestions:
#### 1. **Traditional Martial Arts Association or Weapon Collection Circle**
-Some traditional martial arts schools (such as Chinese martial arts, Japanese ninjutsu, Indian Kalaripayat, etc.) may retain ancient weapon-making skills. You can try to get in touch through martial arts associations, weapon collectors, or historical restoration organizations.
-**Recommended locations**: The hometown of martial arts in Sichuan/Henan, China, traditional craft workshops in Nara/Kyoto, Japan, and weapon workshops in Kerala, India.
#### 2. **Cold weapon customization Workshop**
-Some legally registered cold weapon craftsmen may undertake special orders (it must be clear that the purpose is legal), such as:
-**China**: Sword Workshop in Longquan (Zhejiang), cultural Relics Restoration Studio in Suzhou/Beijing.
-**Japan**: Knife craftsmen in Kyoto (must comply with the provisions of the "Gun Knife Law").
-**Europe**: Traditional weapon workshops in Solingen, Germany, and Toledo, Spain.
#### 3. **Film and television props production team**
-Special effects props artists in the film and television industry often make simulation concealed weapons (non-edged, non-lethal), such as:
-**Hengdian, China**, Hollywood, USA**, Mumbai, India** Film and television props company.
- You can contact through industry exhibitions (such as the Shanghai International Film Forum) or crew cooperation channels.
#### 4. **Restoration of historical cultural relics and academic research**
-The department of Archaeology of a university, a museum, or a cultural research institution may cooperate with the inheritors of traditional crafts to reproduce historical weapons (authorization for academic use is required).
-**Case **: The restoration project of Tang Dynasty Cultural Relics in Shosangyuan, Japan, and the European Medieval Weapons Research Association.
#### 5. **Online communities and Dark Web risks**
-**Legal platforms**: Post bars, the cold weapon hobby section of Reddit, and professional forums (such as "Knife Friends”) may have enthusiasts sharing experiences, but they need to be carefully screened.
-**Illegal channels**: Although artisans may be found on the dark Web or underground markets, they are highly likely to involve serious crimes. It is strongly recommended to stay away.

### Precautions:
1. **Legal risks**:
-In most countries, appliances that are highly concealed and may be used for illegal purposes (such as blowing arrows, sleeve arrows, and flying needles) may be classified as “controlled weapons” and require a special license to manufacture or hold them.
-For example: China's "Public Security Administration and Punishment Law" prohibits the carrying of controlled knives; Japan's "Weapons Manufacturing Law" has strict restrictions on the length of cutting tools.
2. **Alternative**:
- If you are out of cultural interest, you can buy unopened crafts or 3D printed models.
- If it is a film and television/stage performance, choose resin or rubber props.
3. **Restrictions on international cooperation**:
- Cross-border purchases or customization may violate the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) or national customs regulations.

### Summary:
It is recommended to find craftsmen through legal and open channels (such as martial arts associations, prop companies) and ensure full compliance with local laws. If it is only for cultural research or collection, you can give priority to museums or cultural relics restoration institutions. Do not try illegal methods to avoid legal consequences.
