Hey all, been awhile since I did any saber art, and all the old threads are positively buried, so I'm gonna be trying to draw a few sabers out every week, and encourage you all creative types to join! Todays is just a work doodle and not too practical, but I got thinking "what if you could half-sword a lightsaber?"  |

Sweet! Does the blade pass through the upper section with an exposed area for blocking?

Yeah, that was the idea. Half-swording as a martial art is when you grip the blade of a sword for precision and aiming for weak points in armor. Obviously grabbing a saber blade could be problematic so i added a shroud. |

I've thought a few times of doing a staff config with a 'blocking zone' in the middle, where you could use exposed blade or maybe a force field like a ghaffi stick to block. My bo techniques use the center of the bow to block so often, its VERY hard to translate anything directly to saber staff... |

yeah, the cue stick comes to mind. Ahhh! My fingers! I can see somebody trying shift their hand forward, on PS's design, coming short, wrapping their fingers and Ahhh! My fingers! Still a cool design, just tricky to wield... |

This evinces me of an ancestral weapon of (or influenced by) some ancient Jedi/Sith. I would love to see more illustrations of lightsabers! Speaking of... If you haven't already, I would HIGHLY recommend visiting For Tyeth's thread concerning lightsaber design; he's got some truly remarkable hilts already posted  And I WISH that I were that creative! I can't even draw stick figures...  yeah, the cue stick comes to mind. Ahhh! My fingers!

This gave me a laugh ...But, then again, think about the concept of lightsabers as a whole: really, REALLY, REALLY dangerous! Which is why I'd always thought that wielding such a weapon (or at least with proficiency) would require something like the Force  Which reminds me... form over function. As such with a doodle
Since the person(s) who would use this (awesome!) weapon would most likely be a Forceuser, I'm willing to allow my suspension of disbelief to be comfortable with the fact that they wouldn't wrap their fingers around the plasma blade Again PS: I'd really like to see more of this (and other) design(s)! Point! |

Hello PsycoSith, Thanks for the kind words on my work. And I am eagerly looking forward to seeing a few more of your designs. Altenweg is fantastic and even if it didn't have the "half sword" extension it would be a beautiful creation (I like slanted emitters, though I haven't posted many myself yet). |

Tried a different style today. Really pleased with it. Went for a shorter hilt and more "ramshackle" appearance for this one.  |

I love the features you included and I definitely interpreted the "ramshackle" feel that you were going for; yet, it is still has an elegance about it. Once again, the attention to detail is fantastic! I could see an itinerant Forceuser having constructed this while hiding out post-Order 66. Point! |
