Title: Help me choose the best hilt for my new flat blade Post by: Edon Bluewolf on January 17, 2019, 05:03:44 AM OK so I got a new flat blade and since I've always wanted to do a poll, help me decide on which hilt it looks best. 8)
Option 1: (https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7862/46772375021_bb0484d798_z.jpg) (https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4915/46772378571_41e24316eb_z.jpg) Option 2: (https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7835/46772381241_55308603df_z.jpg) (https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7885/31830779677_4103dcfb55_z.jpg) Option 3: (https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7915/31830780737_8959afb41c_z.jpg) (https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7914/31830781457_810b351ea7_z.jpg) Title: Re: Help me choose the best hilt for my new flat blade Post by: For Tyeth on January 17, 2019, 05:29:31 AM Hi Edon,
I like the DSI with the flat blade as the point of the emitter and the point of the blade sort of match up. I would just be a little concerned how the underside of the emitter looked with the slanted opening...but having the blade mounted horizontal rather than vertical is neat.

I actually really like it with your Dark Arbiter for some reason :P I don't dare to venture into the world of flat acrylic blades though x.x

Might be (for me) that the blade looks wider than the choke of the emitter...

But I figure with a flat blade, if you want to actually wield it, having a two hander would help with edge alignment

Title: Re: Help me choose the best hilt for my new flat blade Post by: tx_tuff on January 17, 2019, 09:20:33 PM I think it works best with the initiate, just seems to be the perfect size for it and the lines look good. To me the blade does not look long enough for the Arbiter, the balance just looks off to me.
Title: Re: Help me choose the best hilt for my new flat blade Post by: Karmack on January 17, 2019, 09:47:12 PM I'm wiht tx-tuff. The lines of the Initiate just flow perfectly with that blade. The DSI is a close second, though!
Title: Re: Help me choose the best hilt for my new flat blade Post by: ktulu1347 on January 17, 2019, 11:56:44 PM I'd also vote for the Initiate based on proportions and color harmony. While I love an Arbiter, that blade just doesn't look long enough to visually balance it in my opinion.

I'm thinking of posting a video of me spinning the winner. Title: Re: Help me choose the best hilt for my new flat blade Post by: DarthBoneTD on January 23, 2019, 11:16:48 AM I'm going to go Initiate on this one EB.
Title: Re: Help me choose the best hilt for my new flat blade Post by: Edon Bluewolf on January 27, 2019, 02:29:35 AM Sure enough the one I hoped for won the most votes, the Initiate so it will stay on it.
And as promised here is a video of me taking the bad boy out for a spin! :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-jy5qLfeW8&feature=youtu.be Title: Re: Help me choose the best hilt for my new flat blade Post by: Therion Jinn on January 26, 2019, 08:01:59 PM Seems to work fairly well for you there
