2m seems a bit excessive. Most people aren't even that long.

True 'nuff, I was going off of the doodle for scale, assuming the individual pictured is about normal size...

Let me do some research on Zhanmadao, and maybe conform the scale to that weapon.

I'd have gone 1-1.2m.

Nah.   That's barely longer than a normal lightsaber.  :-)

I think I'm going to stick with 2m overall.   Maybe 2m with the blade ignited, shortened by about 20cm when the plasma isn't flowing.

Put the Tsuba at the about 50cm, so a very long hilt behind the Tsuba and another 15-20cm ahead of it before the blade channel begins....

I'm not including blade length. Alright, with blade, and judging by the image of it being held, I'll estimate 60" tops.

I love it Karmack! Im honored!

And if it helps, the historical sword its based on, the Zhanmadao, is approx. 200 cm long from end to end, perfectly 2 meters.

I had the honor of holding/handling an original once. It wans't as large as you would imagine (but I'm 2,03m tall Wink )

Let me help you on your research. The man behind this article is (one of) the leading persons in the field of historical chinese arms. Also the one who gave me the honor of holding a few of his sabers. Including the miaodao mine is based upon. Anyway, here's the article:

When interrested in historical chinese (asian) weapons, his side is nice to have look around.

Fun fact about drawing a miaodao, zhanmadao of similar blades, sometimes you needed your collegue on the battlefield:

Working on being less heavy-handed. Lighter shades and all that. Plus some inspiration from High Republic

Next addition to the BtB series:


OK, I have to admit that after your (INCREDIBLE!!) Beskar Breaker, THIS saber is my favorite!  From the angled emitter shroud to the finned pommel, the clean lines of this hilt is just...awesome  Smiley.  LOVE this!

BtB III

Started with a more western feel and the idea of "what if Smith and Wesson were to make a lightsaber?" I'm not sure if i achieved this and frankly this is my least favorite btb, but I put enough work into it I'd feel annoyed if i didnt post it.


While it isn't my favorite either, I actually like the oblique perspective.  This hilt seems like it would go very well among a Jedi Sentinel's arsenal (apropos naming  Wink)

Keeping up with the flat blade ideas, and expanding on the Zhanmadao idea, I present the Lidao




For this one, it was as much about the reason behind the saber as the saber itself. Okay why would a lightsaber (one that already an odd design with a flat blade) be single-edged? I could just hear Logos in the distance shouting WHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYY. So i thought given that a lightsaber blade is effectivley and energy circuit what if there was both an emitter and a receiver with the distance in between being covered in "energy repeaters" to keep a confined energy circuit with much higher power than a traditional blade? The result was my so-dubbed "Dual-Channel Emitter Thread". When powered off, the tang of the blade still maintains a physical edge, and the Emitter thread is sharp to a point, making a semi-efficient thrusting weapon even when facing off against opponents that might not warrant a lightsaber.

All well and fine, but who would use this frankenweapon? I imagined a Jedi Temple, forgotten by all but its' inhabitants who through Schisms and Wars remained unaffected through its' remoteness. The Guards and Masters there having generations to hone, adapt, and perfect both their understanding of the Force itself, as well as martial skills. Though few in number, anyone to challenge the Temple's masters would be brazen at best.

Wow...this is...wow...

OK, now that I know better what the Cantors weapon of choice is, I can include this for an upcoming chapter in Storms (with your permission, of course PS  Smiley).

And I like the 2 meter length; matches the power of the Cantors (like Karm said)^^

I can TOTALLY see this as a "High Republic" weapon!  Elegant yet dangerous, beautiful and deadly...

You should include this with one of your story chapters, PS!  Fantastic  Cheesy

Thanks for the kind words! The Lujing seems to be a bit of a hit - I think that one came out well myself (though of the BtB I still think the Shii-Cho came out the best). As for including the pic of Vansi i was on the fence about that. Sure I have an idea of what he looks like, but I like people coming up with their own interpretations too, and I didnt want to restrict any mental images people would have come up with Smiley

I really like the hilt and pommel of this saber, PS (reminds me of "Highlander"  Wink).

And I can't wait to see what you've got for us in the future^^
