What it looks like...

Armed: Out of the corner of your eye, you notice a glint of razor sharp steel hidden within a suspicious looking seam on the <box>.
Set off! With a sinister swishing noise, a deadly sharp scythe blade whips out the front of the <box>, completely severing your <left hand (hands)>! You watch with a sort of detatched horror as a fountain of blood arcs from the severed <stump(s)>.
Set off by someone else: You watch aghast as a razor-sharp blade scythes out from <type> <box> and completely severs <Person>'s <left hand>. <Person> stands there for a moment, staring at the severed stump.
Successfully disarmed: Working with extreme care, you locate the spring mechanism attatched to the blade, and unhook it from the blade rendering it harmless.
Disarmed (safe): A broken spring is sticking out of a hidden seam on the front of the <box>. no longer attatched to a razor-sharp scythe blade within the gap.
Notes: Have someone good with First Aid handy to tend you. You will lose a hand eventually. If you lack the Stamina, the bleeder can be fatal if untreated.
Glance: Those razor sharp blades you can clearly see mean only one thing.
