Saber Forum

I would like to start off this review by saying the Malice is probably the biggest, most unnecessary saber I have had the privilege of owning.  That being said, it is amazing and works very well (size and dimension wise), and I love it.

I have named this saber 'Dragon' for a very specific reason.  I ordered this beauty when I was offered a job at Drexel University, my first real job out of college.  Drexel's mascot is the Dragon, so I figured it would fit.  

I ordered this saber with the silver square pommel, obsidian sound, silver activation box with a red illuminated switch, a red LED, red accent button, and large claws (go big or go home, right?).  

The saber comes apart into 5 sections (counting the claws as 1), providing you with many combinations to make a custom saber for you.  

Like I said, the size of this saber is ridiculous.  And along with the length, comes weight.  This saber is a heavy-weight, and makes my custom Raven seem like a twig in my hands.  

The Malice is very top heavy (due to the large claws), but that doesn't bother me that much.  And as for the grip, I find it the most comfortable to hold the saber just below the ridged  section (below the claws) with my top hand, and below the activation box with my trailing hand.  

In closing, this is a beautiful display saber, but also a very effective weapon.  Not designed for quick attacks or one-handed dueling.  This is a "strong-man" saber, designed for hard, two-handed strikes.
I love it, if I was to order this saber again, I would probably go with the small claws, just for a practical stand point.

Pics below, and feel free to ask any questions.

And finally, showing off my current collection, my custom Raven, Malice, and rebuilt MR Darth Maul FX saber.
I have two other sabers, but they are currently getting fixed up  ;)

Nice review. Man and I thought the raven was a big saber the last pic really shows the true size of both sabers.  :P

Nice new saber. Love your custom Raven too. With the TCSS pointy pommel. :P Only thing I don't like about your Malice is the square pommel. It just looks weird to me is all. Its cool that you wen't on full Sith mode though with your Malice. How does the Malice handle with dueling since its such a large looking saber?

Updated my original review

It looks like the Malice is now the biggest saber offered from your pics.  Thanks for the review and the really great information Nightwing.  Blue

im really stuck in between these sabers i really want the raven but i also really want the malice what would be best malice with small claws or raven

That is a very tough question to answer.  I don't have the small claws for the Malice, and the Raven is my favorite saber (for a few reasons), so I cannot say for sure.  I think, for practicality purposes, the Raven would be the better choice.  However for decorative purposes (on your belt or on your mantle) the Malice is the way to go.
