I really like the mods you made to make your Archon closer to Obi-Wan's. Question: have you attempted (or even desired) to add an activation box? I was thinking of doing something VERY similar but to the Archon v3 but I'm not certain as to which hardware is best for the mod (maybe a graflex clamp but after that...I just don't know ).

The Graflex clamp fits nicely on the Archon once you bend the clamp section inwards. Some weathering on the hilt and the classic pommel (I removed all the anodizing on my pommel after this picture) and you've got a pretty decent V2 hilt

This is EXACTLY what I was hoping TYVM, projectno253! BTW, what hardware do you have as the box top? Looks like an integrated circuit board....FANTASTIC looking saber!

Thanks I was temporarily trying out the clamp that came with my Graflex 2.0, which came with the standard gold circuit card. Any number of places sell a super wide range of these clamps, or if you're going for an Obi wan look you could put a bubble strip on (also included in the Graflex 2.0 kit).

Ah, I have seen the bubble strips w/ the clamps before. Honestly, I think I prefer the circuit board. So the Graflex 2.0 kit comes w/ both the circuit board and the bubble strip? Thanks for the info, projecno253

I was thinking of doing something VERY similar but to the Archon v3 but I'm not certain as to which hardware is best for the mod (maybe a graflex clamp but after that...I just don't know ). I don't want a big box to get in the way of my hand movement during a duel. HOWEVER, I would really like to have the gold circuit board plate as an ornament just stuck right on the saber. I'm considering getting one from slothfurnace and just fixing it on with tiny screws or j b weld or something. The Archon V3 looks awesome, I just didnt get one because I like being able to use midgrade ultraedge blades. Good luck with it though, I'd be glad to see that when you finish. The Graflex clamp fits nicely on the Archon once you bend the clamp section inwards. Some weathering on the hilt and the classic pommel (I removed all the anodizing on my pommel after this picture) and you've got a pretty decent V2 hilt Oh wow thats beautiful!
