I used a simple pipe cutter for 5 dollars. It worked well. You just have to tighten it in small steps and when you through the blade you can use a scissor or scalpel for the foil. Btw it will have pretty drastic effects on the balance point of you saber. I guess it's all about experimentation until you find a setup that work for you. I still use a Initiate V3 for spinning. It's not the coolest looking hilt but pretty affordable and easy to use. You propably know the spinning tutorials from Darth Cephalus and Master Venturous but I always recommend watching it. They are super helpfull and easy to follow

I haven't posted much lately, I've been more focused on other things. But here's some stuff I posted over on IG fooling around with my cross guards.

Your dual wielding got so good, saw it with fire too! I love when you throw the saber over the other. Looks damn cool!

I'm still out here playing around searching for some kind of inspiration. I've been feeling very uninspired lately.

Lady Revan. You'll get there, trust me.
Sam, watching you reminds me that I should really be working with my sabers more

Great control with the duel sabers, Sam. I think that's the slowest I've seen you spin, lol. Looks good and your control of each side is great

I haven't posted much lately, I've been more focused on other things. But here's some stuff I posted over on IG fooling around with my cross guards. Sorry...Sorry...I'm not sure what's more impressive, your finger rolls into a toss with the single cross guard or you actually duel spinning with two cross guards... Most impressive, Sam. Most impressive indeed. It's hard for me to decide whether you're Maul or Kylo so I'm going to say that you're both. Dark Lord of Crimson Dawn and Leader of the Knights of Ren.

So uhhhh...I’ve been working on moving around better. I’ve dropped about 30 lbs or so in the last few months (I was around 365 lbs...oof) I’m feeling it in the foot work. I just want to get under 300 and see how well I can move then.

Looking good there, Sam. I like how you're flowing well with the music and you look great! Keep up the good work dropping the weight off.

Awesome video Matt Nihilus! Literally love everything about it, and you make it look so simple and effortless. Although i know it is not, and extremely difficult. I need much work, and your video is an inspiration for sure, so thanks for posting. Also, MAJOR credit to Samhain! Listen brother, that is a huge accomplishment dropping that weight, and you should feel super proud of yourself! I struggle with my weight, and it is not a fun process dropping it all, but working out while eating correctly and the results of it feel amazing. Not only that, but i feel my strength and movement improve, which is a plus when spinning and dealing with footwork. I for one am proud of you and look forward to seeing more improvement. Keep it up brother! Point.
