And then there is this. Flamberge staff with a Yari extension. I had hoped this would work like a Dragonstaff. It does not. It is fun in it's own right but heavy and the weight is still focused in the center rather than the ends. You can get some interesting roll rotations out of it though. All in all, a bit easier to work with than a regular crossguard staff with longer blades.

you are truly a Master Darth Cephalus!
Enjoyed all your videos (as usual) on this thread.
I have been practicing with my new flamberge se and it is heavy AF. I am just now getting the single crossguard spinning down and now i see you doing the dual crossguard thing....makes me want to push myself further.
Thank you for the great videos! I learn so much watching them.
may the force be with you master!

No problem. The best advice I can give for learning a crossguard is pick it up straight on. By which I mean your arm is perpendicular to the quillions when you are holding it straight out. Your inclination will probably be to pick it up with one quillion pointing in front and the other pointing towards you. If you hold it the other way, you won't hit your wrist. One of these days, I will do a video on that.

Point for sheer craziness. I might also say those day blades worked pretty well in that first vid. Have you made more?

Oh, now those light up in an interesting way. I like. Would go well with the sound font I got recently for my new (other guys) saber.

Thats some impressive coordination. How did you keep the crossguards from catching on eachother/yourself? Man thats cool. Did you rehearse this a lot?

Nope. That was freestyle. It was also the first time I had tried to spin those dual wield. They are more straightforward than you would think. The trick is to use shorter blades and to grip them right. If you grip a crossguard with the spikes pointing to either side, you actually have to work to hit yourself in the wrist with it. From there it is a matter of giving the spins a wider berth to keep from hitting your body.

Now that is incredibly awesome! It looks very close to the real thing. Very cool mod of that hilt too. Thanks for the advice on how to hold the Flamberge. I had figured it out pretty quick after realizing I couldn't spin the blade properly until I held it properly to prevent "wrist collision". Man Cephalus, I cant get over how cool the blades of that crossguard are. Are they painted that way? How did you make them look like that?

Those come that way. They are from another manufacturer though, so you will have to PM me if you want details, per forum policy.

No idea. It was something canned that youtube gave me for free.
