This is a bit overdue... I've done a short vid to show off my latest saber...
I simply ADORE this saber. I fell in love with the design, and knew at once that I was getting one. Not only did I feel like I did when I first saw the Manticore, but in a less serious way, the hilt called to me. The release came mere days before my anniversary on here; the name of the saber is the Emperor's Hand - acronym = EH (Canadian); and the promo pic even showed a dude with a red blade, standing in snow...lol Fate I tells yas. Like I said, I've already done a review type thing in the "customisation" section (this was my first install too!), so will end this here. I do invite you all to check that out, if you haven't already. Loads more pics.

Instant point. Love the emitter switcheroos you did on the other threads, btw.

That is a beautiful hilt. Nice job! And where did you get that tapestry in the background? That is awesome! Point.

Oh hoho - buddygroove, Those are custom ordered flags. I have a pair, and another style in the middle. They are truly my pride and joy. Twin Imperial standards, flanking some propaganda. Thanks too.

Great review, brother. I'm glad you love the hilt so much, it's definitely full of awesome. Interesting information on the grip, too. It's also great seeing and hearing that saber come on and seeing the awesome job you did installing the electronics on it. Man, that's a fantastic hilt! I need one, that's all there is to it.

Yes you do...lol haz just ordered a Prophecy, and if it were any other hilt, I'd feel bad, as he was torn between that and one of these. Thanks so much SFD m'man. You know I was a bit worried about this install, but also know how glad I am that it just worked. I really can't stress enough how wonderful the grip is on that hilt. I know it varies for each person, but it's nearly perfect for me.

Well, you know I've been wanting one of those too, so I may have to order an empty of each for the raffle.

Thank you for the review. I'm eyeing the Emperor's Hand as my next purchase (I love the Prophecy grip, and the comparison just sells the blade more for me). Also, you have it exactly as I am planning to have mine set up (mixture of black with the silver). Looks awesome!

Man you really love that thing. I think I may have finally had my opinion turned around on it. Felt pretty meh about it but with all the positive feedback I think it gets added to the list ( the way too long list). I think it was the activation box that concerned me, but seems to work out well for gripping. Thanks Rapine!

You're definitely giving the EH the royal treatment on the forums. Each time you show it, re-configure it and wield it - it just keeps looking better and better! And I'm lovin it . . . points

Great review of the EH LR, caught the video on youtube before seeing it here. Can't go wrong with DVA, trust me, it gets attention and quick. -1 for awesomeness of your new hilt.
