I am considering purchasing a Flamberge to add to my 2 Yaris to make a pike sized Cross Saber so I can compete in exotic tournaments in a couple of saber combat competitions. Does anyone have experience with the Flamberge in combat? I have heard it is thicker than other companies cross guards but I like the thickness as it give it strength over the thinner pikes. I would love to hear about your experience in combat.  Thank you.

I modded  mine but use it in combat often. It is a most dreaded weapon in the group I duel with. Mine it not pike long but it is lengthened but in front and behind the guard. It has a War Glaive no claw emitter to make a sort of ricasso.  The grip end is extended with a 4 inch grenade section from when the Arbiters were 2 piece bodies.

I wouldn't think it would be very practical with the crossguards on. Most I've seen used for combat are modified by replacing the emitter and deleting the guards. I'm sure it could be done, although it seems a tad large and heavy for me. That one was kinda made because of the cool factor and people begging for a crossguard saber when TFA came out, more than anything.

It is easy to use with the guards and the guards offer great advatage when used well. In duels I have used the guards to catch opponents sabers, twisted to perform disarms, and sued them as attrition contact point both to the torso and head similar to how Kylo did Finn in TFA.

Like I said, I wrote it off a long time ago as being too big and unwieldy for me, but I'm sure a larger person may be able to work it pretty well.
