Keep us posted on this project, I am very interested. I’ve been researching and formulating ideas for customizing a samurai hilt. A subtlety curved blade would be the perfect way to finish off the look that I hadn’t even considered.

I have a blade that has a slight curve to it all due to having sat at a particular angle with some weight on it.  It was purely unintentional, but now this blade has this curve to it that I haven't been able to get rid of - all from me leaving the saber standing against a wall, blade down, for about a month.

So - it's just a hypothesis, but...  maybe try taking your saber, WITH the blade you want curved installed, and place the blade into something secure like a vice, and just let the weight of the hilt pull it down, or place other things of weight on it, like a chain, etc., and leave it a while.  Worth a shot.

Yes. It had to be done. Many sacrifices have to be made.

I took one of my blades with my mantis on it and have it viced at the tip. I plan on letting it hang for a couple weeks to see if the bend sticks.

Be careful not to over stress it. Otherwise you'll put a kink in it. Is it MG or HG? One of my MGs took a hit from a HG, over bB's movie premier, and instantly dented. Angry

I have it in a cool room and it’s a mg blade.  That way it won’t get too warm and over bend.

Nice. Again the Japanese side of my is interested to see how this'll turn out when its done Tongue I need to get me a blank saber and do something similar. Might a V4 work for this type of look?

Have you considered checking out ripper blades? (sorry if that's not allowed). They have several different types of the flat dark saber type blades.
