Title: Shortest Saber w/MHS Emitter? Post by: arrScott on October 31, 2018, 05:39:42 PM Looking to make a Nagamaki-style saber with a "hidden" second blade. Starting with an Arbiter as the primary hilt, and step two will be to add a much shorter hilt with a coupler. But to make it look the best when used as a single-blade weapon, I'd like to add one of several pommel-looking emitters to the second, shorter hilt, so that the whole hilt will have the appearance of a long handle for a single blade. Thus my question: What are the shortest US hilts with a removable emitter?

I'd look at the Initiate V3/V4 or the Apprentice V4. But maybe the best match is the Menace, which is short but also has MHS pommel and emitter. Title: Re: Shortest Saber w/MHS Emitter?

So I agree on the Menace, I also think it's the shortest saber with an MHS emitter right now. Title: Re: Shortest Saber w/MHS Emitter?

Its about the only short hilt with an MHS emitter and pommel. Title: Re: Shortest Saber w/MHS Emitter?

Title: Re: Shortest Saber w/MHS Emitter? Post by: chalion on November 01, 2018, 10:03:27 PM If you're talking stock US sabers, i'd agree with the Menace, un-modded, being the shortest.
My Azure Reaper sans claws, with a Consular Emitter is less than 11" long.................. My Archon v3.1 with the Consular emitter on it instead is also less than 11" long. Could even be shorter if I swap pommels with one that's flush, like the EH pommel. Title: Re: Shortest Saber w/MHS Emitter? Post by: Dauntless Seven on November 01, 2018, 10:26:23 PM Hi. Having owned both the Menace and Shock I have to say that the Shock hilt/body at just under 7.5 " ( just measured it ) is the best choice. Also it would be the better compliment for the Arbiter. Don't have my War Glaive any more but the hilt section if I recall wasn't that long and also would blend in well. :)
