Right in the head there, I think. Kind of like how the Electrum Wind was for me

Really? I’ve been on the fence with ordering one

[Therion Jinn]

I was, until I got to see and handle one at a local con

[Infinit01]

Besides it's sheer size, how does it handle?

[Therion Jinn]

Bane handles really well
Butcher works best handled low on the hilt

Good to know, I do like how the Bane looks. Reminds me of a Katana and I’m told that the Butcher is actually
comfortable despite its size

I'll be posting some reviews tomorrow, they should show things better

Some More additions, as I realized I hadn't updated this thread in awhile

Modified T'Shalla's Herald for a better look
I cut goatskin into strips that were about 1/4" wide and glued them into place on the hilt with E6000 adhesive.
Due to the size of the goatskin piece, I wound up having to cut 3 strips for each hilt section.
The end result, though a little rough in appearance, is almost exactly what I was looking for.


Here, we have the saberstaff I call "Paladya's Storm."
This is the pair of Initiate V5s with Obsidian Lite sound in Sundrider's Destiny that I received a couple of days ago.
I used Aluminum Black to darken the grip and choke sections.
Then, after some cleanup using steel wool, I sealed them with a matte finish and connected them with an older vented coupler I had



My Bane came in Guardian Blue, and I changed that to Fire Orange with an LED purcahes through Ultrasabers for that purpose.
I also took some sanding screen and roughed up the grip sections

T’Shalla’s Herald along with Paladya’s Storm are two good looking saber staff. I would love to hear about their owners’ stories and how they came about one day.  Based on the weathering alone, I take it the stories are going to be quite exciting. I also like the Bane with the new FO blade as well

[Therion Jinn]

Thanks for the compliments.

I wish I could take credit for the stories, Infinit01
They mostly come from playing through Star Wars: The Old Republic a great many times.
Each character saber is based on one of the characters I played in the game at some point

Maybe, someday, I'll share some of the character stories

Those are all great additions to your collection, Therion. I like how you personalize all of your sabers.

Thanks, SFD.
It's almost like they speak to me some times.
My 'Qui-Gon' Consular is asking to be weathered, for example

[scifidude79]

Heh, I've been thinking of weathering my Consular also. I guess it's true what they say about great minds thinking alike.
