When you guys are transporting your sabers, do you keep something between them (i.e. towel) to keep them from scratching each other?

Or do you just toss them into your bag willie nillie?

I keep my saber hilts separately  in those laundry bags in hotel closets or those bags from PurpleTie laundry service that my company has onsite.

I transport mine in this, both with and without blades:



I also use a poster/document tube to store and/or transport my blades:

I may have to look into that as well.

For the time being, I just got a really large duffel bag, and I plan to carry them in there.  I was just wondering if I should separate them to keep them from scratching each other.  I'll probably wrap a towel or throw blanket around them just to guard the finishes as best I can.

I would wrap them in microfiber cloths.  I bought these large 14 inch x 14 inch, PLUSH microsoft fiber cloths to polish mine but have also used them to wrap around my hilts to protect them from getting dinged by other objects, like other hilts:

That's something I could ask my Mom to make me for my birthday.  I have a hard time asking for presents because if I want something I prefer to pick it out myself.

On thinking about bag designs, would people prefer the handle to be horizontal or vertical?

Need a "hmmmm" smiley

I use  Roll Eyes  for my "hmmmm" smiley    Cheesy

I would say vertical for a handle on a bag like that, and it might help later if you wanted to run a belt or similar strap through it to carry it on your back or around your waist, apart from the covertec wheel style of course, since this would be like a secondary/backup hilt.

For me: both.  I think what LB said w/ being to carry it on your back is a smart move and certainly more versatile^^

May the force be with you! (give light side )

I remove the blades and wrap the hilts in a towel and carry them in a guitar case/ gig bag. This seems to work well as the gig bag is padded.
 I really like that case that LB has, that would be great protection.
