Science-fiction book where the protagonist has a hidden blade inside his body
I'm searching for a book i read 10 years ago, from which i remember only a few details:
- In the distant future, the central planets of the galaxy are ruled by a king;
- The main protagonist is an acquaintance, or becomes friends by the end of the book with the ruling prince.
- At some point the main protagonist gets imprisoned / enslaved on an amusement park planet
- He has a blade / knife which can cut trough anything (made from a strange meteor)
- In order to hide the blade he has a sheath inside his body skin (he can get the blade out by contracting muscles in a special way)
By using the concealed blade he escapes from the amusement park planet (together with a woman he meet there) and, later, meets the prince, which travels in disguise.
The book had a short name, similar to "Orion", "Andromeda" or some other celestial body.
