Oh yeah, I'm in absolute love with the Black finish on the Dominicide. I feel like Blazing Red is the only color that does this saber justice. It's so fitting because to me this entire saber screams "Sith" The Black AV is also an excellent complement to the Black Covertec on the opposite end. Such a beautifully menacing saber! When I finally add the first double-bladed saber to my collection this will definitely be the one.

Great review! I’d love to see some photos of that lit up! I’ve never seen a dominicide in person. How do you find the middle section of the hilt? The section with the black strips it looks quite wide/thick. How do you find the grip and have you tried spinning with it? I’d love to know how easy/challenging it is to spin. I have a Flamberge and that’s a challenge but doable Also will the loose claw screw on? Many thanks xXx

Many thanks xXx forgive my interruption... but I needed to chime in that I love my dom. the middle is thicker, but it spins well, being more balanced. i was worried about the claws but so far, so good. I swapped out the 36" blades with 24" and it feels great for my height (used to be 5'9... currently measuring 5'8.5) since I don't hit the floor with it. I highly recommend going for it and adding a dom to your arsenal.

As always, great review. -1 to that. I didn't like the equipped emitters because they seemed to shallow to properly hold the blades on so swapped them for 2 Shock LE emitters. (I also had claws pop off but they were easily attached again). You didn't mention the led module retention screws........ I had loosened mine to push the modules further down to give about 3 inches of depth to hold the blades in better.
Keep up the good work and I eagerly await what customization you'll go with on this hilt.

Thanks, folks. I've cut down the 32" blades to my usual 28" Emitters seem to hold the blades just fine, but I'm going for something a little more 'personalized' with mine While the claws may, indeed, screw on, they do so from the inside of the emitter. I can't get in there all that easily to do so.
Middle section is just fine, especially compared to the beast of my collection that is the Butcher. Spins just fine, and is VERY well balanced

When you say the claws may indeed, screw on, what do you mean by this? My hilt was presale and the claws used the pin style which I could just push on and then use a ring clamp to force back into place.

Again, i like the look of it, but it's not for me...I think. I could get another Dominix LE v4 or Grand Master LE and make a staff. Anyway, thanks for sharing.

have you had a chance to spar with your Dom? My kids and I just did some (they attacked, I blocked) and we broke parts of my Dom.
(Kids were horrified at breaking another of my toys, but I laughed it off to reassure them, then we took turns with the initiate and dark apprentice)

I'm just going by the holes inside the emitter ring. Didn't really take a close look. Part of why I said 'may' instead of giving a definite answer

I haven't, no. But I'm fairly sure the claws might get knocked out on hard impacts. I honestly don't do a lot of sparring

It's definitely a beast, Lord Sidious. But I like it
