Light? Dark? ... I'm the one with the saber.

So, 2 and a half years ago I got an Apprentice LE V4 stunt saber (green blade), because I loved the elegant simplicity of the design. The down-side is that it felt a bit short to do much of anything two-handed. To help remedy this, I swapped out the Apprentice pommel with a Catalyst pommel. While I was at it, I really hate hex-wrenches, they're a pain in the butt, so I ordered a gold anodized thumb screw from TCSS, and it sets it off really nicely, as if it were a dial for blade length or something, the only greeblie I'd allow on this hilt. Then topping things off with a different blade plug I got off Etsy (this was before US offered alternative blade plugs) and it's looking pretty nice, even if my sweaty hands have left a mild tarnish on the finish (I don't care). I am considering doing a drill and tap to add a retention screw for the LED module, and am debating whether to put a covertec wheel on it. Not sure how it would look on a saber this short, and how much it would affect my grip. I know I don't want a D-ring clanking around on it, so I'm considering making a small braided loop out of hemp twine and threading it through the sound holes in the pommel for a more organic touch. Something to think on.

Looks good, sometimes the sight customization is the best way. I'm not a fan of covertec wheels but it would go with the thumb screw.

That looks really nice! Nice job on the customization! I just got my Apprentice V4 with lite sound from a mystery box yesterday. It's not an LE and has a Royal Blue LED. Your post gives me some ideas to add in blue to my Apprentice V4.
Thanks!
