I wonder if a better option would be something like a sentinel hilt, but instead of the choke points it has that much taken off of the sides most of the way down. The top and bottom could flare out to accept a katana-style round or hex guard, and the bottom could flare out to fit a pommel. Alternatively, adapters could be made (like for the Fulcrum's pommel) to make the diameter of the pommel/emitter fit the style of the body.

Somebody's gotta put an initiate v4 on the other side of a coupler on that thing.

Holy...That would be sexy as hell. Man, now I think I want one to try this. These may help the sell of an Initiate V4. Wonder why we do not have an official annoucement thread? |

Wow that's a most definite pass... at that price point it's not even attractive for mod purposes  |

Especially that LE. I just priced one, and for me without sound it would be 197$. Not a bad price at all, especially for the longest, widest hilt in the US lineup.  I kind of want one now. |

Interesting Note I was showing my girlfriend the new Brood Guard, wondering if she would like it, she doesn't, but at looking at the pictures.... Is US now giving us LED retention screws?  |

In the video Emory said that there is a retention screw for the LED module on this one. I don't know if it is something that is going to become standard or not though. |

I hope so. I would send a lot of my sabers in, just for that feature alone. |

THIS. So much this. Wow that's a most definite pass... at that price point it's not even attractive for mod purposes tbh, I cringed when I saw the price point too. I was considering how to turn my dark apprentice v4 into a guard shoto, and I may still pursue that option. |

@Bat, I know right  I have lots that could use this update including my old Overlord saber. @US's, please do this new thing? I don't really like the new Brood so I'm gonna pass that one up. I'm gonna wait until something more pleasing to me comes out |

I have been given information from a rep at US that there are possibly a few new
sabers being released this year.
I just want to revist this and say I hope the "few" wasn't just three different versions of the same thing. I really do hope US have an actual SABER design coming out before year's end. |
