Ladies and gents of SaberForum - I give you Svíkja




As said in the title, it's a customized Dark Initiate V3 in Dark Violet Amethyst with a matching customized blade plug. It is my first saber, I've had it for a while now and it's finally all finished.
If you want to know anything specific about the customization you could either ask here or check out the WIP thread over here: http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=21811.0
Here are some more pictures!













Thanks for checking it out and take care!  Cheesy

Really great work. The emitter with the shroud looks fantastic!

Very nice, and I especially like that the customization seems to compliment the guarded switch, which is usually off-putting on other sabers.

Why thank you! Haven't thought about that actually, but now that you mention it I do have to agree. Although I'm probably gonna send it back to add sound later and with that an illuminated AV-switch. Blue most likely, I think that suits best for the DVA. What do you think?

Hi Yiggy.  I have been going back looking at a lot of the saber customizations for ideas, and your's is still one of the best.  I think that you can keep this type of guarded switch to use as an av.  I know that for the RGB Shock with sound and FoC, that the 4th master button can be the more sleek av switch or left to match the others.  I think that with your customization, that a lit modern switch could look out of place.  How about a non-illuminated one if you want it that you could weather or a red/orange ring?  See ya and stay warm.   Wink  Cheesy

Heey! Thank you very much, it makes me very happy! Cheesy There are a LOT of great customizations around and I get a lot of inspiration from them. Simply put; this forum is awesome. <3
Hmm, you do have a point there. Maybe an AV-switch will look to "shiny" compared to the rest of the hilt. What kind of orange/red ring do you mean? Smiley
Thanks and the same to you, my friend!

Hi Yiggy.  Sorry for any confusion.  Just meant choosing instead of blue, using a red or an orange illumination ring.  All are complementary colors for your purple blade and would blend in with the hilt leather colors.  Also I was thinking that you could buff the av smooth silver metal to dull the shininess.  Yea, your Svijka is a beauty and another appreciation point for you!    Cool Grin

Holy crap, that's gorgeous!  Excellent work on that Dark Initiate, I hardly recognize it as such.  I especially love that sharp looking shroud...

Hey! No problem at all bruv. Smiley Yeah that's another point! Probably going for a red then, I'm thinking it's a Sith saber so a red one will do good. Yeah I could do that. Or is there any way to get an AV-switch in anodized black instead of silver? That would look great! Thanks a lot! Cheesy

Thank you very much, sir! Indeed, almost an all new hilt. Smiley
