It really is. For me the most amazing part is the emitter. It conveys such a strong presence. Second favorite feature is the activation box and third favorite feature is the extremely low profile pommel.

I've been wondering, ever since I put one of the EH pommels I ordered and received onto my Project:  Undercover AKA Pint-Sized Powerhouse http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=29726.0

Since it was, with the Dark Menace pommel, just slightly longer than a V2 Initiate, how does it stack up against a V2 Initiate NOW.







Shorter than a V2 Initiate, but with Obsidian V4 sound and QDs for the LED.  Muhuhahahahaha!

Well, well, well..

The EH emitter is quite interesting under the greeblies.



The central construction is, as you can see, basically an octagonal shape, with one side rounded off and machined for the two button or knob greeblies.  The black t-track style bits are held on in a quite novel way, slotting into the keyhole shaped holes somewhat like industrial shelving you might see at a store or warehouse, or even in your own garage.  They are retained by the ring that goes around the top of the emitter, which in turn is held in by the retention screw and the shorter screw opposite it, as LBW showed in his video review.  The facets around the emitter body, with the t-tracks removed, is an interesting look all its own, and enterprising saber customizers could come up with different "inserts" that could be slotted into the keyhole type slots for a different look, although you'd want to make sure that they were of a shape to be "braced" at the top by the ring, so they didn't just slip out.  There is also potential there for glued or screwed replacement greeblies, if you so desired.

All in all, it's an interesting emitter.

Was there any adhesive used to help hold the t-tracks in place?

No, none.  They slot in, slide towards the base of the emitter to put "lug" of the t-track behind the walls of the narrow part of the "keyhole", then the outer ring of the emitter keeps them from sliding back up.  The holes in
that outer ring are made elongated, so there's enough movement possible with it that you can firmly press it against the upper edge of the T-track sections, minimizing any wiggling of them.

Huh pressure fit never would've guess but I guess it's a more dependable set up for being at the business end of the lightsaber.

Thx shade ... points for putting up with my questions Smiley

I also played around w the MHS and swapped a few emitters.  These were what I thought were interesting.

Very interesting . . . +1  Cool

Those flat spots could even be a mounting point for some custom claws perhaps ?  Roll Eyes (4 evenly spaced ?)

For the last 6 months, I was convinced that someday, when I decide to spend the galactic credits, I would get an Emerald Guardian.  This saber has made me question that choice!!!  I am ambivalent regarding the character of Mara Jade, but this saber design has too much going for it to ignore.  For one thing, it is a full 2 inches shorter than a Guardian, and as a Jedi who stands closer to, say, Padme's height than Qui-Gon's, the Emperor's Hand would seem to fit my Light Sider Hands well.

Now that I've seen shade_1313 's pics of the emitter dismantled, I'm even thinking of a gold-paint dipped T-track mod... Oh that would be so cool... mod a $400+ saber?  What is meesa sayin'?   Tongue

{Or, maybe I can convince the US team to add gold tracks as an option!?!?!  They already have gold on the Electrum Wind and Sentinel LE, etc... }
