Alright then, I'm a dunderhead. Didn't even see those on there.

Hello, I pitched this idea to you on facebook and was told to pitch it here because you thought it an interesting idea. But would you be interested in making a spear attachment for your sabers? Here's a picture in case people don't understand my reference.

Sweet OlynKhorn!

That looks really good. :)

(Gotta like that Catalyst too) :P

-1 is your 40th.

Question for y'all. How do y'all display your saberspears/pikes when they are not in use?

Here's a weird thing I made with pike extensions.  I like showing it off lol

Just put 'em all together (I have two right now, two more on the way), and cap them off with a pair of Scorpion pommels I have laying around.  Which, really, makes for one mean and nasty bludgeoning weapon IRL.

So I have a question and this thread might be the one to answer it. (Hopefully). I plan on ordering a Guardian and attaching a Pike extension to it. What would a lightsaber with just 1 yari pike extension be called? I assume it's not a pike. And it would be just a bit shorter than a staff, but only 1 sided. I just don't know if that style single bladed saber has a type name.

It depends on what definition of pike you're using.  In the classical, pole arm definition, no it's not.  In the Star Wars universe definition, it's a Saberpike (see here for the Star Wars Force Pike: [url]http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Force_pike/Legends[/url] ).

One of the closest weapons you'll find is the Japaese Nagamaki ([url]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagamaki[/url] ).  In general, a bladed weapon with a handle of similar length to the blade would fall under this category.  I have a single Yari extension attached to my Dark War Glaive and I love it.

Here are the definitions that I use:

Saber spear - Three extensions, 24" or shorter blade.
Saber pike - One extension, 32" or longer blade.
Double bladed saber - two sabers attached end to end; also known as a saberstaff, despite the fact that only about half its length is safe to put your hands.  Alternately, there are examples in the Star Wars universe of double bladed sabers that have a standard single bladed hilt length.

Semi-useful knowledge: Yari is the Japanese word for spear.

Friends, I present to you, the Staff of Skullcrushing.

Very nice. How much does it curve while using it?

It's very rigid, actually.  Very little flex, very solid feel to it, even though it's four extensions, three couplers, and the two Scorpion pommels.

Wow, shade, that is legit. Is this patterned after a staff of a particular character you like, or more of an original idea? Either way nice work. It's serious looking stuff you got there.

I have three extensions for putting together a saber pike, and one for a nagamaki-ish long-handled saber, and two Scorpion pommels I don't use on the corresponding Scorpion sabers.  When you've got all that, you put together a big nasty metal staff of spiky knobby ends.  It's what you do.

Although it is not exactly a pike, I just got my second dark initiate v3...  With the adjustable coupler, it makes two nice pommels for dual wielding, a very long (2x32" blades) staff, or an awesome long handled saber (using one blade plug and one blade).

The two hilts plus coupler add up to about a 21" handle with a bit over 30" of blade.  So far, I am finding the long-handled configuration to feel very comfortable.

I am stoked about the possibilities!

Shade, I was thinking about doing something like that, but with Ravens.
