It's also thicker than the average hilt diameter. It is long, but most of its extra length is due to the non-MHS emitter section and pommel. The grip area is roughly the same as an average hilt.
Wait, so the pommel is non-MHS? Will yari extesions go on it I wonder? Hmmm... OK, just checked. The pommel is indeed MHS compatible. |

Sorry for the confusion. The pommel is MHS, and the large silver section of the emitter is MHS threaded. The large black windowed section is part of the shroud, and does not come off. First thing I had to do with my new Emerald Flamberge V2: paint it red. Is there really any other color needed? I like how the light reflects off the guard emitter to look like windows. |

Cool. It's the pommel part that I was curious about. I like the emitter and claw just as they are, and would not dare alter it. Resume wanting one.  |

Now as I said, the Scorp has a shroud around the main body, so the end of a Yari won't lay flush with the outer diameter. But it should still look pretty wicked as a pike, if that is your objective. |

Oh that's so nice in a bad way. This is how I imagine the Flamberge should look including the pointed tips. There's a few ladies that have this saber now. hmm... +1  |

Well, multiple pike extensions actually. I'm making a saberstaff. It would look absolutely sick with a claw on top IMO. A Malice would look really cool too. |

A JEDI WITH A FLAMBERGE?! Lunacy... Unknown and underappreciated fact. I was the one who suggested that US include pointed tips for the blade selection choices on the crossguard sabers. I'm sure that US or anyone else could not have come up with this awesome idea on their own.  |

TBT, I'd like to see one not red. |

I saw a purple one that looked cool...considering that's the only other color I'd ever think about wielding besides red, that made it even cooler.
But according to the Rebels mid-season trailer, a silver Flamberge with a Consular Green blade is about to become canon.

Ok, now you're confusing me. Are you sure you know the difference between a pike and a staff? |

Just FYI...mixed color LEDs have a tendency to not look so hot in a windowed emitter. the individual colors don't mix well that close to the light source, so it would look blue on one side, and red on the other side.
I had this experience when I ordered SY in my Manticore. However, BH does OK, but the single color LEDs do the best.
My EG Dark Apprentice V4 LE with windows is just fine, no mixing issues. Also haven't had a problem with any color on my Emerald driven Dark Menace staff. That said, all of those have fairly deep seating for the blade, so they may just have enough room for the colors to fully mix in the blade film before the light reaches the windows. Blade plugs, on the other hand, do look funny from the front with the mixed colors on. |
