Lord do I love this saber. I added a leather wrap to the hilt and it just makes it even more gorgeous. Hope ya’ll dig it!

Thanks! It’s actually not all that hard- you just need a rotary cutter, a ruler, some contact cement and a steady hand! I know there are a bunch of tutorials here and on YouTube, too!

Wonderful saber with beautiful craftsmanship!  I have an Archon v3 VERY similar.  What color is your AV switch?

It’s a blue blade with a green AV switch! I’m also working on making my own blade plug- I curse all of you though; I’m now addicted and getting my third Ultrasaber on Friday!  Wink it’s going to be an Apprentice V4, blazing red, Obsidian Lite, with a red AV switch and violet FOC. I can’t wait!

So I got my Apprentice V4 a day early and already couldn’t wait to put my touch on it: I added a multi color leather wrap and it looks amazing. I have to say, the pictures don’t do this hilt justice; it’s beautiful!

Looks very nice there.
How does it feel for grip?

Thanks, Therion!  I used extra soft leather, so it feels incredible. I may but thinner material on it if I re-wrap it, so you can see those ridges in the grip better. I’m still learning the process of leather work, so it’s all a learning curve!   Grin

Looks like beautiful leather work. I do really like the fact that there's a gap, you don't see that too often and I think it makes it look better than one solid piece.

“You think you know the depths of corruption that plague the Jedi?” Saso hissed. “I’ve seen it, I’ve experienced it, I even embody it. Every breath I take is an affront to their lofty ideals and idle Force worship… and so they seek to exterminate me.” He looked deep into Barriss Offee’s eyes, “they were not successful in purging me from the galaxy, and neither will you be.”
