I love your Bellicose Greatsaber, the Bellicose was already a hilt I was looking at getting, with a Yari pike extension to get this type of hilt result, would it be better/easier to just get another hilt like your Archon or another hilt to achieve this?
*edit* I just noticed who the OP was for this item, and I had just finished watching your Bellicose review on YouTube

I actually have another question regarding your Greatsaber design, since I don't currently own any of Ultrasabers products, or any for that matter, it looks like your Archon plugs into your Bellicose hilts pommel through a flush coupler screwed (or however they connect) into where the Archon's blade should be, my question is, are there hilts out there that allow me to achieve your greatsaber hilt style without having to having to give up that other blade, aka connecting pommel to pommel?

Yes. Any v3 saber or MHS compatible saber can have these parts interchanged. On the greatsaber, since the Archon has an MHS compatible emitter and pommel, (as does the Overlord), I decided to make the other side of the staff a grip to the top saber, and have the LED shine through the coupler. The normal thing to do is put these things pommel to pommel - I'm the weird one here!

And thanks everyone! I'm having a little too much fun here.  Grin

I was/am considering an option like yours, having the blade color shine through the coupler is a pretty neat effect, but yeah, my original idea was basically to have a pommel to pommel Greatsaber and simply have a plug in at all times, until I felt like getting in some saberstaff practice anyways, but I think your version of the Greatsaber looks a lot better, I think when the time comes to purchase, I'll simply have to deal and get an actual saberstaff from them
*edit* Sorry, I mean get a saberstaff in addition to the hilts I'll get for my Greatsaber

point for ya bud on a neat idea.  I'm not that surprised it works nicely, reminds me of the nodachi of the samurai.  It was used primarily as a horse killer, but I also know nowadays people love them for slaying pretty much anything in the SCA  Grin I even caught a Viking with one lol
here's one for reference

I myself am a fan of the longer hilts, 12 inches is pretty small for me when the emitter and pommel are included in that length.

Thanks mate. Check out the Arbiter or Dark Arbiter if you prefer longer hilts. I'd love to see a full Dark Arbiter with an Overlord coupled on top. That would be awesome for a long hilt, without going overboard that is. Is there really such a thing? Smiley

If memory serves, Sasaki Kojiro favoured this weapon because it had a slight reach advantage over a regular katana. He was, of course, beaten by Musashi Miyamoto, who fashioned an even longer weapon from a wooden oar!

Thanks Bobby. I should revisit this as I've changed my AV switch to red on the Overlord.

As promised, here are a couple of updated "Darkon" shots. I am so happy I swapped the blue switch out for the red one pictured below.
