Great minds think alike! I currently have a Reaper emitter on my Dark Mantis and a Raven SS pommel :)

Very sick for sure :P I'll have to get this done myself if you don't mind it :P Was wondering though, how deep is the Reaper blade socket? Like how far up would you say the retention screw dents on the blade go up? Was thinking Mantis, Dark Arbiter emitter, Dark War Glaive pommel actually but in traditional Blazing Red. I think you made a new trend :P

Sure I don't mind! Blade socket depth is 4in. and the retention screw is like 2cm. from the bottom of the blade. I was thinking Dark Arbiter emitter too! It just didn't seem to fit right for my style. Would love to see it though.

Nice! That pommel is the smooth squared one right?

You made a Reaper Sickle, nice! At least that's what came to my mind. Your home made curved Reaper is pretty sweet too. I held a curved Reaper at a con last spring and with the plan to get it, but I just didn't like it. I may go back and give it another try.  It just looks so cool.

Hah, I was going more for a shortspear design, but I can definitely see the sickle part of it. I saw the reaper design somewhere here in the forums, but it was an azure Mantis body. Not sure if the person had the same reaper emitter though.

YEAH! I like that design too! Might change if I find myself hitting my forearm with the spikes on the Renegade, but so far, so good!

Thanks! The hilt is a little thick, thinking of replacing it with a leather wrap, but idk how to easily slide off the hilt shroud, if that's even an option.
