Title: Lightsaber sheath ideas Post by: Drifter on May 31, 2020, 03:39:04 PM Thought I'd create this because there isn't many ideas about for carrying a lightsaber and if you're picky like me other people's ideas could be helpful to find the perfect sheath/sheaths for you

if your looking to do some kind of cosplay set up then there are some issues a: the blades do not just snap into place ( unless and i do not have the knowledge in this area ) there exists some kind of quick connector then you could carry the blade it self across your back the hilt on your belt then simply pull the hilt from your belt reach over your opposite shoulder and snap in the blade and draw it to a fighting stance. if your looking for simple storage idea maybe with a little style you could order a silk katana storage bag less the $20.00 (http://i.imgur.com/gQd8pF5h.jpg) (https://imgur.com/gQd8pF5) Title: Re: Lightsaber sheath ideas Post by: Drifter on May 31, 2020, 05:52:00 PM Yeah it's not an easy task I've set myself lol but I'm hoping with people's ideas and creativity I'll be able to work something out I appreciate your help are you light or dark side?

Title: Re: Lightsaber sheath ideas Post by: Drifter on May 31, 2020, 11:57:03 PM Yeah definitely worth thinking about

I thought it would be a sling-over-shoulder situation, but the weight of the hilt makes it rotate so that it sticks out, very unwieldy. there are two 'loops' that might work as belt loops, but I'm at a loss on how to use this leather-esque sheath at this point. :) Lost my photo posting mojo (that img site won't let me upload) so I can't be more specific. Checking their store photos, I think I'm wearing it correctly... maybe just have the wrong physique to do so. :D Title: Re: Lightsaber sheath ideas Post by: Drifter on June 02, 2020, 12:14:46 AM Hmm yeah the weight of the hilt makes sheaths complicated if you can take pics of your sheath 1 of us might be able to suggest ideas for it

Title: Re: Lightsaber sheath ideas Post by: Drifter on June 02, 2020, 09:02:16 AM Lol well a 36" blade is pretty long I think I'd have trouble drawing it out over my shoulder as well lol a 24" would be more suitable for that
