Nice saber. The violet and blue button is actually what I'm wanting to do to my Bane when I order it next month.
The Bane actually doesn't look that big in person then. I was thinking the Bane was a hefty saber. How is spinning the Bane in person? Thats all I really do with my sabers is spin them, I don't fight with them that much unless my bro wants to join in. xp
It's a pretty big saber... I gotta get a couple pics up of me with my bro's Bane. Not only is it 13", but it's got some weight to it.
That said, spinning is actually surprisingly easy. It's actually rather balanced - I think it's because the hilt is so long that the weight of it counterbalances the blade nicely. I use a 36" blade if that helps.
