I just got a brand new Archon, I love it! But the quality I love most is how easy it is to customize and make my own. Let's see what all you Archon owners (I know there are a lot of us) have done to make it your own. Here's what I have so far I need get more parts. This is my Archon V2.1saber in PO with a dark orange Apollo filter. I call the color PO... Power Overwhelming. (Any StarCraft fan should get why)  Here it is with a vented flush coupler added. (A very popular addition)  And here it is with the original choke and new MHS parts, a female/female coupler plus new emitter, probably my favorite configuration with my limited selection of parts so far...  And the new parts plus the vented flush coupler.  The color showing in the vents is actually the true color. Let's see what you guys have created! Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2 |

I forgot to add this in my original post. Its got the flush coupler connected to the stock choke with the female/female coupler. The over all length is 15.25". It feels amazing to swing around, very well balanced with a shorter blade. I just measured the blade and somehow I got a 30.5" blade, perhaps with my initiate hilt. This blade extends 23.75" from the emitter. It feels perfect.  Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2 |

Behold, "Jarchon," AS with stuff... Jammo, is that a custom made part in there? I've never seen that one before. Very cool, I love that AS blade. Looks so crisp and refreshing. |

A couple MHS pieces from a supplier that will remain nameless. |

Ah OK. I just figured it out. I have one of those parts shown above actually.

That grip is pretty fun. Where might one find that material?

It is an adhesive carbon fiber sheet. Not sure where you might find one but mine was cut from an ipad back protector. I might suggest office supply stores. |

That last version is so simple and elegant! The first version looks very dark and sinister! You make some beautiful sabers! Point

Here is a different configuration. I call it Shard. It is a custom silver emerald color running the rather crystalline Dominus Nox sound font.   To see and hear it in action, watch this.
