Essentially a collapsible dagger, a retracting blade is the most advanced gnomish weapon possible, snapping into a full blade with a flick of the wrist. The main advantage of using a retractable blade is that it can be drawn as a free action, but it's also easy to conceal in its retracted state, granting a +2 on Sleight Of Hand checks to conceal it.
