The Renegade is UltraSabers' second rendition of a crossguard saber and is reminiscent of the Old Republic, giving off old relic vibes. Old but not bad and not forgotten.
It has a removable emitter which includes the main emitter and the quillions that are MHS compatible so each emitter or quillion can be changed. Let's talk about the emitter, it has a rose/claw like look to it with vertical windows that comes standard. The main emitter has one groove in it while the quillion emitters have three grooves which to me, lets both the wielder and the enemy know which of the three blades are the main ones. From there, there's the actual cross guard piece that holds all three emitters together and two thicker grooves about .5 to 1 inch in height. There are also two claws, one under each quillion giving them beautiful saber an even more menacing and Sith appeal as well as a Sith look to it. The claw can also be had in either black or silver with no extra charge so you can order just the Renegade, the LE (Black and silver), or the SE (Silver). Each side blade comes standard with two 6" blades or you can upgrade to 8" blades for the extra charge.
Moving on down is the switch section, this saber comes standard with a guarded switch which wouldn't do this fantastic weapon any justice so either a black or silver AV switch is a must.
Moving on down to the main body which has the grenade grip. This grip is what inspired the grenade grips for the new Aeon/Dominix/Initiate V5 grips as it's pretty much identical. If the regular renegade is ordered, it will be all black just like a dark saber or all silver like a regular silver hilt. Now, if it's ordered in the LE, the grenade grip will be silver with black accents which accentuates the grip. It's a pretty sight in my opinion and one of the saber's most eye catching piece right next to the emitters of course.
Moving down towards the bottom of the main body is another groove followed by a much thicker groove which leads to the bottom of the body that thickens up for the pommel making this saber really comfortable for wielding with two hands if one so wants to any ways.
The pommel comes in two versions, the large my default which has the width of the widest part of the body by has nice fragrance bottle like grooves machined into them. The smaller pommel does widen up towards the bottom to a slight curve and blunt points. The smaller pommel the more eye catching pommel of the two in my opinion.
The smaller pommel starts out as wide as the hilt but doesn't have the fragrance bottle like grove that covers 90% of the pommel like the smaller one. Instead there are two grooves that matches the rest of the hilt and the bottom 40% of the pommel flares out quite a bit into much pointier blunt points which eye ball shaped grooves cut between the grooves. It too is pretty and speaks more of Sith than the smaller one, if this piece is the Sith Master or Lord, the other one is the Apprentice.
All and all, this is a gorgeous but deadly weapon and showcases UltraSabers' fantastic design language of the new generation of lightsabers. Even though it can be had in silver, it's standard color is black or you can have the LE which is black with silver accents. It's a Sith's crossguard saber through and through not just due to it's color but also it's designs. There are lots of angular and pointy edges throughout this saber, the two claws, one each below a quillion is a good example. Most Sith carries these types of designs while the Jedi typically carries less aggressive looking lightsaber designs but progressive designs are to the eye of the beholder as well.
