So here is the video as promised. So I was struck by a couple questions and had to get answers. Can you dual wield crossguard lightsabers? Yes! Are they heavy AF? Yes! Do you end up hitting yourself with the quillions? Not if you hold them right. This is a collection of clips from a 15 minute practice session. Hope you enjoy. The sabers in the video are both Flamberges (A V1 and a V2). The V1 has been modified with a shorter hilt section and a slightly extended center emitter. The V2 is rocking some home made day blades.

I am constantly surprised by how easy you make everything look. But I know from experience that it is not all that easy (especially the reverse Obi-Ani).

Good stuff. I think the thing that surprised me the most watching this is your hand placement. Seems lower than usual.

Good spot. I actually had to weight the V2 pommel to do this. That is part of how I am keeping those quillions away from me and from each other when the blades get close. And how I tightened up the arch on the flip. Yes, I added more weight to a Flamberge.

Very, very, carefully.
Really though, I doubt it'll be that hard. Mine aren't both MHS compatible so I haven't tried it.

I don't think that someone should be that good.
Great job DC.
