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!

I like it. A simple, yet elegant, modification

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! 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!

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.
