They look like typical Hidden Blades used by assassins, but these are very small ones and are mounted on the inside of the arm, so you can seemingly place your palm on someone's back and stab them.

Zed's blades are double and they're very wide, as well as mounted on the outside of his arms, so they're intended for combative use (and not stealth) and perhaps emergency blocking of some sort. Retraction similarly serves no sealth purpose but zed uses the massive force of the thrust to stab deeper and through armor (as seen in his attacks: he unfolds the blades as he is attacking).
