Let's be honest, it wasn't really a Hidden Blade, it was a hidden skinning knife. It was assymetrically shaped like one, it worked like one, it was held like one.

Hell, if you look at Desmond's blade at Abstergo, it looks like the Brotherhood one, but the tip is distorted to hell, like it's a random broken piece of metal.
