Just ordered an Initiate V5 in Silver with a Guardian Blue Blade! Fedex truck is out for delivery...about to receive it...so close...
Spending my time looking through mod ideas. I'm thinking of painting the claws on both pommel & emitter steel blue, and then painting the recessed areas white, and weathering the whole thing down. But one idea I ran across struck me as particularly nice...
There is a youtube video where someone pries off the claws and flips them around the other way. The result is that the part of the hilt directly below, which is a concave, becomes an additional finger grip area for spinning. In the video...he very simply pries them up and flips them and presses them in the other way.
Has anyone else tried this? Slightly worried I will damage the saber trying so was curious, but the end result looks really cool and seems like it would be more functional.
Good idea? Bad Idea?
