Saber Forum

I read through all the saber descriptions and not all of them have hilt lengths.  I tried using the search function, and could not find a single thread with a complete list of ultrasaber hilt lengths.  

I'm willing to edit this post to compile an exhaustive list of ultrasaber hilt lengths.  All I need is for ultrasaber owners to post hilt length and diameter measurements of the hilts they own.

Here's what I have so far (these measurements are with standard pommels, emitters, etc. and unless noted, do not reflect RGB-modified measurements):

Initiate v2/Dark Initiate v2 and LE versions: somewhere between 8.75 and 9 inches long, 1.25 inches wide

Initiate v3/Dark Initiate v3 and LE versions:  9.5 inches long, 1.45 inches wide

Dominix v2/Aeon and LE versions:  somewhere between 11.75 and 12 inches long, 1.25 inches wide

Standard Issue Battle Saber and Dark, Red & Blue versions:  12.25 inches long, 1.28 inches wide

Dominix v3/Aeon v3:  12.25 inches long, 1.45 inches wide

Standard Issue Battle Saber v3:  12.25 inches long, 1.48 inches wide

Liberator/Dark Liberator/Red Liberator/Blue Liberator:  I do not know if these are actually the Liberator v2's because they are simply labeled "Liberator."

Liberator v2:  11.5 inches long, 1.25 inches wide

Liberator v3/Dark Liberator v3:  11.625 inches long, 1.42 inches wide

Prophecy/Dark Prophecy/Collector's Edition Prophecy/Dark Prophecy LE:  10.5 inches long, 1.45 inches wide (at widest point)

Prophecy v3/Dark Prophecy v3:  11 inches long, 1.45 inches wide (at widest point)

Bellicose:  13.5" long from pommel to emitter tip

Shock/ Shock LE/Dark Shock:  11.0625"

Overlord:  12.25 inches long  (RGB version is 13.5 inches long)

Arbiter/Dark Arbiter:  14 inches long and 1.450 inches wide

Bane: 13 inches long (RGB version 15 inches long)

War Glaive/Dark War Glaive:  13.0625" without claws, 15.5" with claws

Consular:  12 inches long

Archon v2:  11 inches long when assembled (11.375 inches long including the neck)

Catalyst/Dark Catalyst:  12.5 inches long from pommel to tip of emitter

Raven:  13.25" without claws, 19" with claws

Guardian:  13 inches long and 1.5 inches wide

Anakin Skywalker ROTS UltraFX:  ?

Darth Maul UltraFX single hilt:  ?

Darth Vader ANH UltraFX:  ?


I'll edit this list as soon as I get more information from people posting in this thread or from further research on my part.  I hope you find this information useful in making your ultrasabers shopping decisions!

Very nice initiative! This will be a great guide for someone like me who can't decide due to measurement questions.

Light side points given :)

Ok, this is kind of relating to your post. but a little more specific measurement.  like the distance between the emitter and the power switch. I like to hold the saber up close to the blade.
 but I have bear-paws..5in from pinky to forefinger. I'd like to make sure that i can grab the weapon and not have my fingers rubbing against the power switch. LoL  So, if anyone can toss some numbers on these that'd be awesome !  The Dark Standard Issue and the Aeon are the ones I'm concerned about atm. 

                                                Thanx and sorry if I jacked the thread !  ;D

Maybe a good way to show everyone not just how long a saber hilt is, but answer all those "how long is it from this part to that part" questions is to start a photo collection showing each saber with a ruler or measuring tape above and below the saber, each facing opposite directions.  Hard to visualize, but I'm at work (working hard obviously) so I'm gonna do some good ol'fashioned ASCII art as an example.   When I get home I'll post a pic with my Overlord (doin this now so I don't forget) and you guys can say if it's helpful or not.

Remember, tape on top, saber in the middle and another tape below:

      0_1_2_3_4_5_6_7_8
      [))))))]####(
_6_5_4_3_2_1_0

Or maybe I'm just completely crazy and should call it a day.   :P

Okay, so my plan failed - maybe I need bigger rulers, but I just couldn't get the perspective right anyway, so blah.  Here's my best shot followed by something I hope to redeem myself with.   ;)

I always had trouble visualizing the actual girth of a saber hilt so I took this of my Overlord pommel with some visual references - for my American friends, a Canadian quarter is the same size as a US one.   ;D

Hopefully that helps... someone.   :P

darth maul (single blade) 10.25 inches long
mace windu 11 inches

Apparently, I cannot modify my own original post in this thread, so perhaps the moderators can do it as required?

Thanks in advance to everyone who contributed so far as well as to the moderators who take the time to edit the original post to reflect updated and additional information. Light Side Points given to everyone!

If I erred in giving you light side points, please PM me and I will do my best to rectify the error.

Edit: I gave Light Side points to everyone except CZ3RO, to whom I gave Dark Side points to.  Sorry for the extra post, I couldn't edit my own post.

Thanks, qroon!  Light Side Points back at ya!

@John-Michael - All three Shocks (Normal, Dark and LE.) are, 11 1/16".

Both War Glaive withou claws is 13 1/16". With claws it is 15 1/2".

Raven without claws is 13 1/4", with claws it rest a nanometer under a flat 19".

I think other than the FX ones, your list has rounded itself out buddy. ;D

I set this topic sticky, figured it's always useful to be able to compare these kinds of measurements on a hilt.

Could you also edit it (when you have a moment) with the lengths I posted so that John-Michael's list "Will be Complete." ;D

Done :)

Thank you Master.


I believe John now has a complete list (Except for FX, though Vex I think will be able to comment more soon.) which earns you all a point. ;D

Thanks, Kham and Nero!

N, Thank you for putting this together.

Sweet, I'm making a Dark War Glaive staff and this is exactly what I needed to know.

YAY!

That means John-Michael gets a point.

Great thread.

Just put these measurements in a spreadsheet so I can order it easier. hmm.. one handed sabers or best ones to make a staff are Initiates, Prophecy and Shocks.. although the Prophecy is not the handiest for a staff.

Some additional info on the Raven, that I find helpful.



Raven: SS Pommel, SS claws, 4 Energizer Recharge NiMH batteries, Obsidian, standard midgrade blade weighs - 837.2g or 1lb 13.53oz

Balance is roughly where the screw is located on the claw. 

Total length - 47inches

Hilt + Claws - 20 3/4ths inches.

Hilt - Claws - 13 1/4 inches

Usable grip (Area where my hand can rest without compromising the grip on the blade - includes the pommel and the shroud up to the claws) - 10 3/4ths inches.

Intended grip - 8 1/4th inches.

HEY IT IS NOT THE SIZE OF THE HILT THAT MATTERS...IT'S HOW YOU USE IT!   ;D ;D

What is the diameter of the Raven hilt? I was thinking about buying a Shock LE but I had the opportunity to hold a Raven recently and I feel that it was to think for me. I definitely want a saber with a smaller diameter.

Quick question,
  Does anyone know the width and weight of the shock? Ive heard its a bit wide and heavy and just wanted to clarify.

Thanks.this helps alot

awsome. this helps a lot. thanks

Just found this site today (wow was I on the wrong internet highway!)  and was looking at the custom components.  I have really big hands and was wondering has anyone tried this build configuration?
Emitter
Coupler
Body
Coupler
Pommel

I was thinking of:
Manticore emitter   (if there was a length on the Manticore I missed it, but estimated 2")
Black & Silver coupler with vents   1.75"
Dark War Glaive Body   7.5"  (but I wish the Consular body was available as a component)
Flush black finish coupler (maybe with vents?)   1.75"
Malice round Pommel   1.2"

This would make a saber about 14.2" long

Some slight problems GR:  Couplers have double male connections.  You could do the Manticore Emitter + Dark War Glaive Body + Malice Round Pommel.  That would work perfectly.  Unless you are using the Archon V2 or trying to make a staff, the couplers are not going to be of much use.

Blue

Blue, thanks for the info.    :)    I was not confidant my proposed component mix would work and you gave very clear and valid reasons why.

In a second look, the War Glaive RGB body has greater length approximately the same as one of the couplers was intended to add.

<sigh> It's not like I can afford another custom sword yet, so I'll just have to save up.  Maybe by the time I have the cash, more design options for Wookie pawed Jedi will be available.... ;)  Like maybe male/female extenders will have been added as component options, or a wider variety of long body's will be available.

GR

For big hands, the Arbiter and the Malice seem to fit the bill quite well.  I personally like the Arbiter because you can swing it like a baseball bat with a 40" blade attached. 

It is a shame that US does not yet make coplers that are female on both ends.. This would be easy, and make for amy more customizationsfor the cliten base. I have been looking for a way toget my initiate v3 hilt top to be threaded with female threads as i want to use one of the pommels as an emitter, but my initiate v3 does not have Any threading at all on the top... i cant figure out where to go to get this done either.. Any suggestions?

We have an Ultrasabers Wish List stickied somewhere.  It has yielded some really great things like Recharge Ports and flush couplers.  Might be a good place to ask.

I'd like to add that the Shock LE RGB version is 13" long and 1.5" in diameter

You could take it to a machine shop and have it done or, if you know someone with a good tap & die set, you could simply tap the threads yourself.  There may be enough metal in the emitter to tap it a standard MHS thread like the pommel but you will need to check by removing your blade and pressing the threaded end of your pommel into the emitter.  (Don't shove it or try to screw it in, just see if the threads touch the inside wall and prevent it from sliding in)  If this is the case, then you have enough there to tap it MHS size.  You may need to modify or relocate the blade retention hole.  If you do this, make sure you apply some white grease to the threads BEFORE coupling or it may seize!

Quick Question: Anyone know how far the emitter shroud on the Bellicose sticks out from the blade holder?

I have the Dark Arbiter and it feels far too long, but I am considering a Bellicose with Archon pommel as a replacement.

Thanks

Great choice, including the pommel! (That's my exact setup). The shroud extends around 1.25" to 1.5" from the main hilt. It's shorter than the D. Arbiter, and the shroud isn't really a part one can grab anyway, so it's just cosmetic.

Anybody have the reaper measured yet?

Cool so the Bane isn't as big as I thought. US doesn't have the measurements on the buy page like usual. Smaller than the Bellicose. Overlord isn't half bad length either.

19.5 inches from claw tip to claw tip.  28.6 oz with AV switch, sound and batteries installed, and thin walled poly blade attached. 

So glad I found this thread. I'm sad that the initiates are too short for me. I don't even have Wookie size hands, I'm just more comfortable with a hilt I can actually fit both hands on.

would it be possible for someone to post the internal diameters of the hilt  and the diameters of the mating peices. I am mainlt looking for how much space the electronics need inside the hilt.

I'd like this too. Thinking of working with washers and such to align saberstaff hilts correctly.

This question goes out to anyone who can answer it, and forgive me if its a stupid question, but on the Dark Initiate V3 is the top of the hilt and the bottom the same width?  In the pictures they look like they are different widths, but I dont know if that is just the angle of the picture or the actual hilt.  Thanks to anyone who can answer!

How long are EACH of the components of the Reaper?

Does anyone have the Width for the Belicose? 

It varies as you go up the hilt, from about 1.45" at the black grip to about 1.6" at the base of the shroud.

Thanks SkyFaller!  I was hoping teh width around the grip would be a bit smaller than around the shroud.  Looks I know what my next saber is!

Can't go wrong with the Bellicose, my friend. You're gonna love it.

Hi there saberfans! im new to this forum so pls, dont rage if i say something stupid :D
i Have a question and i decided to write it here cuz i couldnt find anything in google...
Can anybody tell me what is average weight of ultrasaber? I mean, how heavy it is in hand?

These are the types of questions we love to answer! My Bellicose with a heavy grade blade on it is 1.9lbs. Hefty, but not unmanageable. If someone rages on you here, we will report it immediately! :)

Welcome to the forums!

There is no such thing as stupid questions...well, at least not for a newbie on this forum :D Welcome here!
My Aeon v3 (w/out blade) is about 400-450g (0.9-1lb), if I remember correctly. With a MG add about 120g (0.26lb), with a HG add 240g (0.53lb). Haven't measured it recently, however.

Wow!
I thought it is a lot heavier...
Thank you very much :D

This is definitely useful!
Wow, I hadn't realized the Raven was quite that long.

That's what she said...ha ha...JK

I like this thread.  Though for the one I got I just balanced coolness with affordability.

What is the length of the manticore?

11" with low-profile pommel and 12" with high-profile pommel according to its product page :)

I was asking questions along these lines in the Technical Threads. So, I'll ask here. I got an Aeon LE, and I want to know the Inner Diameter, since it is not MHS compatible. I looking to see if there is an adapter that will allow me to go from this to an MHS compatible piece. I'm looking at certain otehr parts suppliers and wondering if the MHS 1 to MHS 2 converter would work.

Hi VFrost0.  Are you saying that you have an Aeon v2 non- MHS compatible version?  If you have the v3's then no problem.  If you go to search it should connect you to the appropriate threads until another member can assist you.  Perhaps contact Sedsti Skyfaller ( scroll up for his signature).  Hope you get the info you are wanting.   :)

I have been trying to find a place where all the measurements are given.

Thanks!

What about the V4 ones? would like to know how the DARK INITIATE V4 compares.

Thanks!

oops its on the website  ::)

9 7/8"

Hi Everyone,
I know I disappeared there for a little bit (It's been a rough couple weeks), but I wanted to ask a quick question.
Does anyone have the RGB Versions of the following sabers:
Dark Shock (Shock)
Overlord
Dark Warglave (Warglave)

I am wondering what the Body length is on these RGB versions (sorry if I missed that earlier in the thread, I dont think the RGB Versions were mentioned).

I am planning a custom assembly with one of these three bodies and new emitters and pommels.
I appreciate any Info.
Thanks so much,
Sifu John

Hi Sifu John.  Good to see you back and hope all is well.  I recently purchased the RGB dark Shock which looks awesome.  Using a Raven SS pommel with it.  The total length is 13".  With the Shock pommel length is 13.5".  Hilt body only without emitter and pommel is 9.75".   Regular Shock from pommel to emitter is 11".  Hilt body only is 7.25".   

It's a long saber but lighter with good two hand grips and fairly evenly balanced depending upon blade used.  There is a 4th master switch.  I kept the buttons all the same for continuity instead of an av master switch.  If ordering with sound and FoC, the flash comes in AS or FO only.  If you decide upon this one, asking for a currently free to trial Obsidian V4 upgrade would be fantastic to instantly change the sound fonts to match blade colors.  Suggest asking for all guarded switches to be the same, as the three color buttons will have the silver center and the master all black.  Also placing the covertec wheel underneath, closer to pommel rather than on either side, will provide a nice clean line.  I'm really pleased with mine.  Using an UE blade.  Hope this helps.   :)

The Overlord regular length is 12.25" and RGB is 13.5"  Warglave specs unknown to me, but I have the regular hilt part only.  Is slightly over 7.5".  The RGB hilt body only is 9.5".  Both of these sabers have the additional RGB master switch.  The RGB Shock and Warglave empty hilt bodies can be purchased for a custom build.

Hi Dauntless :-)
Things have been stressful lately with some family emergencies, but we are doing well regardless.
Thank you so much :-)

Also thank you for the info.
I was wanting to get an RGB overlord with a Warglave emitter. I really like the Overlord body, buyt prefer the Warglave emitter's windows (and the claws are cool) as well as the choke point at the base of the emitter.
I also was contemplating a Dark Warglave emitter with claws at the base of the saber.
This however makes for a Looong saber.
I actually purchased a Dark Warglave emitter last week, and put it on my Dominix V3 with sound. It is a very simple "customization" but It makes the hilt much longer (although the lower choke now is a good point of single handed grip) and really looks cool. The sound is especially loud with it too...
I included a picture of it in my small saber rack upstairs. What do you think?

Because of the length of the Overlord, I am considering going with the Dark Shock RGB instead so I can do the Warglave emitter on top, and the Dark Warglave emitter with claws on the bottom.

I think I just finished my dueling clubs patch design.
I kept it somewhat simple and decided to go with a rocker that goes beneath our Kung Fu school's crest (patch). When I am sure I am done I will post a picture of that too :-)

Thanks again,
Sifu John

(http://twindragonnh.webstarts.com/uploads/Saber_Rack_3_small.jpg)

Hi again.  Sending healing energies to you and yours.  The RGB Dark Shock hilt body with the Warglave clawed emitters will look fantastic.  Suggest silver with the black claws on both ends.  I think that there could be a photo of a dark saber with this set up in the gallery section but not entirely sure.  The Overlord is a beauty, but as you mentioned, quite long.  The Warlord hilt is unremarkable if not for the claws and pommel.

Nice job with the Dominix v3.  Wow, that makes it one long saber.  Have you though of using it with yari extensions.  Your rack and growing saber collection are fine indeed and you deserve a point.  I am really liking my v4 Initiate.  Conflicted about the windowed emitter for dueling but like the blade color shining through.  Looking forward to seeing your club patch design.  How exciting and things seem to be coming together.  Hopefully a video will also be in the works.  :D

Hi Dauntless,
We do have quite a collection of sabers.
I think I ordered saber # 32 last week.
Now granted some were purchased for students, some were purchased for myself, each of my two sons, and the wife, and some were purchased for the Quoon (to be used by students of the saber club that had not yet purchased their own), but we do have quite a few about the place.
My 29 saber rack is nearly full during saber class, and the 15 saber rack I have in our living room is getting full too (I keep a few extra Blades there in the back just in case ;-) ).

We have a Dark Initiate V4 with Windows that is great.
There is a half choke below the emitter that makes a decent hold point, and the windows are sharp looking.
Thus far it has held up quite well during dueling.
Although I stress care during the duels, and partner work, we are by no means gentle.
We have certainly put the sabers through their paces these past few months.

I video just about every class and dueling session, so we are working on a new video.
I have only used the Dominix with the Warglave "emitter pommell" twice for class now, but it does balance nicely at what is now the center choke, and I have enough room for all the maneuvers that way. I just need to be aware of my blade placement when I make contact with another saber.

I am still strongly thinking about the overlord, but the Dark shock is a very close second.

I will keep you "posted" ;-)
Have a great evening,
Sifu John

Does anyone know the hilt body diameter of Archon v2.1, both at the grooved grip as well as at the plain surface? Thank you in advance.

I want a saber that I could hold with one hand but could hold on to with both hands so I was wondering what would be the best length and width for that saber.

Hello ! I would like to know what lightsaber I should buy if I want a saber that can be one handed wielded ( for Makashi  ;D ) and has a great balance for quick swings and thrusts ! I love your sabers and considered buying the mantis from you but it seems quite heavy and wide so I wanted to know if this is a good choice or if there's a better one for me ^^.
Thank you for your amazing work and may the force be with you  ;)

does anyone have the dimensions for the US flamberge?? :D especially the thickness of the handle, i have small hands  :-\

Does anyone know the diameter and weight of the Consular hilt with and without shroud? I'll be getting one this summer, but I'd like to know approximately how it'll feel before hand. Thanks! ;D

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy my first saber (bellicose with pike extension) but I wanted to buy a saber for my daughter at the same time. The issue I'm running into is that she is small. 6yo about 3'/3.5' tall. She has expressed interest in the sunriders destiny color at 24" blade. But I am stumped as to what hilt to get her that will be short enough.
So the question at hand, what is a good short hilt, that she could start with? Preferably something that isn't very large in diameter either.
Thank you all in advance!

Hey!  Your best bet would be an Initiate V4 or Apprentice V4.  The "dark" versions of those look great with SRD, but the "light" versions are good as well.  The choke points should allow her to grip it without difficulty even at six.

thanks -- help with selecting another saber .   

What is the inside diameter of the Apprentice v4?  I want to make sure that a USB power bank I want to install in it isn't too wide.

Thank so much for posting hilt-lengths! It's really good info to have, for planning saber purchases, and mixing and matching parts.

Hi everyone... I've just mesured my Guardian and it is 13,375"(aproximation) long from the tip of the emitter to the bottom of the pommel, and I wanted to post this becaus I've always thought the Guardian was 13", but it is a bit longer...

And it is 1,5" wide, but  only on the grip section and a small space for one finger just under the emmiter, in most parts of the shroud, specially the emmiter its about 1,75" wide...

Does anyone know how wide around the Shock is? It looks really fat around to me, but it could just be an illusion with all the rings going around it. It says the length is 12.25 inches, but there is no mention of the width.

Ok what are the internal dimensions?

Anybody Know the Diameter of the raven? trying to build my first saber and the "contact us" option was useless. They flat out refused to help me. Thanks!!

Thanks for the helpful tips

I appreciate your hard work. Light side points given.

So is it still safe to say that the Initiates are the shortest hilt?

The Initiate V2's in particular, very safe to say.  ;)

Does anyone have the inside measurements for the hilts?

I was looking at the Dominix V2 and V4

I am moding a set and need the measurements before I buy.

Hi, I am looking for a hilt which has an internal diameter of at least 1.5 inch for my DIY build for holding the electronics. Any recommendation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

May the Hilt be with us

Internal diameter on a V2 saber is 1.15 inches (29mm)

Fun fact: thread pitch on the V2s is 28 tpi.

Thanks for the info, I'll send you measurements for my Dark Initiate V4 when it gets in. Light side point for you

Also threw these into a Excel spreadsheet.  https://www.dropbox.com/s/hxz7m386a94fy7i/US%20Hilt%20Measurements%20-%20Lengths%20and%20Widths.xlsx?dl=0

I own a warglaive and it is a beast and super massive. I have small hands.


My warglaive is a 2 handed lightsaber for me lol.

Can someone please 100% confirm the width of the Aeon V2? It looks to be the thinnest, but want to confirm as it's for my 6yo son.

I've read that it is 1.25", but the measurement in the description says 1.45"

https://ultrasabers.com/product/the-aeon-v2/

Interested in the wider section, plus the thinner choke points if possible.

Since I've got a bit of time to kill (and maybe a OCD-thingie with a love of Excel wich might be developping) I made a little sheet with all the measurements and inspiration of all the current sabers.

Unfortunately I couldn't find all the specs.

I still need the hilt thickness (or width) of these sabers:
Archon v.21
Bane
Bellicose
Catalyst
Consular
Fallen
Monarch
Overlord
Raven
Shock
War Glaive

And if someone does have the weight (without blade) of a few sabers I can add those as well.

If someone wants to see the sheet, hopefully this link will work:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/3nqqidr6p95or8b/Wapen%20Overzicht%20Lightsabers.pdf?dl=0 (https://www.dropbox.com/s/3nqqidr6p95or8b/Wapen%20Overzicht%20Lightsabers.pdf?dl=0)

It's currently a pdf. But I will share the entire XLS when it's finished. So everybody else with a bit of love for numbers, comparrison, and a list of complete specifications can enjoy.

And yes there's another tab in the XLS with all the measurements in cm, I'm Dutch and we do use the metric system.

  Fallen - Overall length: 47-3/8", or 120.3cm (with 36"/91.4cm blade)
  Fallen - Hilt including shrouds: 16-1/4", or 41.3cm
  Fallen - Hilt disregarding shrouds: 14-3/4", or 37.5cm

  Fallen - Hilt diameter: 1-1/2" or ~3.8cm
  Fallen - Shroud diameter: 2.5" or ~6.3cm

  Fallen with Diamond, Li-Ion w/buck puck, internal charging port, 36" UEHG blade:  31.8oz, or 900g
  Fallen with Diamond, Li-Ion w/buck puck, internal charging port, no blade:  22.5oz, or 638g

I gave you a point for going to the trouble of putting this together.  Let me know if you want info on any of my other hilts (see signature for list).

Thanks alot.
I migh ask for the wight of those sabers in the near future. My first goal is getting the hilt measurements complete.
Because I fear there are alot of different variables with the weight, AAA, Li-Ion, Buckpuck or not, wich soundboard, etc. But who knows, maybe my mind thinks of an easy sollution and we can have complete overview of specs.

I'm sorry if this was answered earlier, but what is the width of the Initiate/Aeon v2s?
I read earlier in the thread that they are 1.25", but is that the thinnest or thickest part?
I'm planning on modifying them with PVC pipe and I need to know both the thinnest (handle grip/pommel/choke point) and thickest (emitter/area with button) measurements please.

-

Thickest part of cylinder: 1.375”
Thinnest part of cylinder: 1.25”
Total thickness, including protected switch: 1.5”

Sorry, but I can’t tell you the measurements using an AV switch, because both my Initiate v2 sabers have the protected switch.

Greatly appreciated!

I found a video in which someone used PVC to modify their Aeon v2 with the exact size PVC that I use in my homemade sabers (with cheap store bought toy sabers as a core).
Since the V2s aren't compatible with the MHS quick change coupler, that's the route I'm gonna go.

It's nice to know that once my stunt sabers arrive, all I have to do is wrap a bit of electrical tape at the middle and insert them into my handles that are already made.
My Jedi character uses paired shoto-style sabers that can connect as a short staff.

-

Updated the list a while back, thought I'd allready posted here, found out I didn't so here it is.

If someone knows the weights, I can add that as well. Gram of oz, Excell will convert both ways ;)

Looking for details on the brood guard hilt.

 I’m looking to make a forearm cane from a saber but need the measurement from the base on the handle (90 degrees to the hilt on the brood guard) to the bottom of the hilt to be able to determine how long the blade would need to be for the cane.

Also how far does the blade go into the hilt (Example 30 inch blade Goes in 2 inches for 28 inches visible)?

This would be my first real saber so if anything I’m saying or if something sounds like a bad idea, please stop me from my quarantine madness.

If I understand  your question right its 10.5 inches. The screws near the emitter are LED module retention screws (there is no switch to wedge it against) so the blade insert is about 3.5 inches. Precise adjustment will vary.

Interestingly, the Brood Guard is just an Initiate V4 without a switch hole attached to the tonfa adapter. The threading for the two sections is MHS compatible so the length you asked for could be adjusted through use of other hilts and adapters or TCSS parts.

Yes, this is exactly what I needed. Thank you!

I've actually never seen the Brood Guard disassembled before, thank you for showing that, firehand

So much saber envy here....  everyone measuring their sabers.  So macho.   ;)

Literal LOL from me here.  Good one!

Hey I’m planning on installing my liberator v3 soon does anyone know the inner diameters it starts wide and gets smaller a few inches from the pommel end

I was also considering getting the Brood Guard and was wondering if the brood guards pommel area can be coupled to a saber to make an alternative staff..?

Yes if the other saber is V3 or above. It has MHS compatible pommel.

Love this post!  I just got my first saber and I actually made a spreadsheet with dimensions and specs found on the site.  I also reached out to customer service and they made recommendations based on what I wanted (basically a two handed saber, so for me, at least 12" or above) as well as provided length dimensions.
