Congratulations Groovidad! That's a very good looking saber, and must be very comfortable to hold! =)
Thanks brother! Yes, it is quite comfortable to hold and spin. I'm going to replace the 36" with a 32" as this will be a better length on this hilt. (I've already hit the floor several times!!)  |

I agree with you that 32" is generally the ideal blade length. Although even 32" gives me occasional trouble wtih indoor spinning practice. I've hit an overhead ceiling fan a couple times which has put a mark on a blade. And I've also hit an overhead archway (I was too close to it due to trying to watch myself in a mirror) and damaged some paint on the wall. So depending where I am in the house I try to limit myself to practicing wtih my 24" blades. (If I ever get a chance to build another house I will opt for 9 ft ceilings. LOL) |

I have found that I quite like the 32" blades as well. The length of the 36" isn't so much a problem, I have 10' ceilings in the living room and vaulted in the bedroom. Just have to watch out for the TV. I am just a fan of the 32's, I think they are easier to handle. |

I normally purchase the hilts with 32" but, this being a "Freebie", I got the 36. I did purpose a hilt with a 36" a purchase or two ago just to try it.....NAH! 32" is my standard go-to!  |

I also prefer the 32" blades. The saber just feels better, it has a better balance IMO. A 36" blade makes the saber feel off to me. I keep 32" blades on all my hilts.

I'm 5'10" and while it's not crazy or anything - 36" just feels too long. I can't even imagine getting the 40" they offer on the Renegade. |

Winning? Is that what you think it's about? I'm not trying to win. I'm not doing this because I want to beat someone, or because I hate someone, or because I want to blame someone. It's not because it's fun. God knows it's not because it's easy. It's not even because it works, because it hardly ever does. I do what I do because it's right! Because it's decent! And above all, it's kind! It's just that. Just kind.

LOL! I actually have a 40". (Don't ask where I got it) There is NO WAY you could use that unless you were 6'6" or better in height! WAY LONG!  |

Finally got to give my gf her Stunt Dark Sentinal in BR. She really likes it and even texted me a pic of her with it earlier. Red is her favorite color and as I suspected she's glad I got her a Sith looking saber.

I actually got a 40" blade when I ordered some grab bag blades. Quite a nice little surprise. I don't actually use it, but put that thing on a Scorpion and watch out!  |
