Title: Yari extensions review. Post by: Vex on September 27, 2012, 01:19:28 PM I recived my Yari extensions yesterday and I'm going to do a quick review with pics, video review will be later.
The extensions are exceptional! Very comfortable to hold, and the grooves make for a wonderful grip! So much so I think I'm going to have one drilled so I can make a MHS hilt out of it. Each section is about 15" long and the new flush couplers are 1.75" long. I ordered 3 sections and 3 couplers (one with vents) I will give more info durring the video review. The pics include comparison shots for size , also a few with an extension as a hilt with emitter and pommel attached, a shot of a single extension with 2 emitters as a double bladed saber , 2 extensions together as a double blades saber , and bolth next to my UtraFx maul. Enjoy!

Title: Re: Yari extensions review. Post by: Manroon on September 27, 2012, 06:43:54 PM That's excellent man! I love the Single Section as a Staff with Consular Emitters. It looks great.
Title: Re: Yari extensions review. Post by: Vex on September 27, 2012, 06:45:44 PM The extensions are hollow and there is lots of room for sound, battery pack, MLS units fit in the ends as they do in a normal US hilt. Here is a few pics where I just added a switch , 4 AAA batt pack, and 2 SRD MLS units and 2 Consular emitters. I will probably switch to a Li-Ion batt pack with BuckPuck later.

Post by: Zren Tobas on September 27, 2012, 07:55:13 PM Nice. I would actually use just a pommel and use one of the other ends as the blade emitter if possible. I'd use the Dominix V3 pommel. Make it all nice and Sithy. Do you have a Dominix V3 speaking of to show how long the saber hilt itself would be with a yari piece?
Title: Re: Yari extensions review. Post by: srams on September 27, 2012, 08:56:34 PM WOW these look amazing! I love the extra long consular! And I love the yari with the malice blades!
Title: Re: Yari extensions review. Post by: Vex on September 27, 2012, 09:45:03 PM First comparison pic is a Dominix V3. I'll get a pick of it with an extension and it's pommel when I get home.
Title: Re: Yari extensions review. Post by: Vex on September 27, 2012, 09:49:30 PM Ok here's the requested pic along with my Light Naginata! 2 length variations of my Naginata.

Post by: Manroon on September 27, 2012, 10:09:54 PM Bwahaha! I love the Glaive emitter with the tiny 1" blade sticking out past the claws. That's great! Hilarious, but yet so awesome.
Title: Re: Yari extensions review. Post by: srams on September 27, 2012, 10:11:48 PM WOWOWOWOW!!! I love the middle pic the bast I love that you added only one malice blade!
Point!!! Title: Re: Yari extensions review. Post by: Master Bluespike74 on September 28, 2012, 05:11:39 AM Vex must be awarded points for this.
Title: Re: Yari extensions review. Post by: Vex on September 28, 2012, 02:43:48 PM Thanks all.keep in mind in that last pick, that's a 24"blade slid up into a extension to the lit base of the first extension and held in place by the Warglaive emitter. Lots of fun possibiltys with these! And the extension makes a really nice hilt that can be handled well no matter how you like to wield your saber!
Title: Re: Yari extensions review. Post by: Darth Vrenen on September 28, 2012, 11:17:34 PM Very nice pictures!! I appreciate seeing how the extensions look with a hilt. Looks awesome!
Title: Re: Yari extensions review. Post by: Darth Bats on October 13, 2012, 01:56:26 AM Are the extensions hollow or solid throughout? Hollow. Also, with 2 extensions and flush couplers, I've found that I can use them as a sheath or scabbard even for my 36" bladed sabers. Which brings me to my next question for The Powers That Be, "How awesome would it be if there were a MHS emmiter with male threads past the retention screws to 'lock' the saber in this 'sheath'?" All in all, I'd absolutely delighted with my new naginata (full bladed polearm). Title: Re: Yari extensions review. Post by: srams on October 13, 2012, 02:47:10 AM I absolutly love that you put electronics in this to make polearms. I cant get over how awsome this is!
Title: Re: Yari extensions review. Post by: JapzLapeno on October 16, 2012, 05:32:21 AM Wow. Just wow. And the naginata with the vented coupler and that slight bit of blade at the end for pommel of deadliness is freakin epic!
Title: Re: Yari extensions review. Post by: Vex on October 16, 2012, 10:59:18 AM Thanks all , I'm glad you liked it!
Title: Re: Yari extensions review. Post by: eerockk on October 16, 2012, 02:55:30 PM That light naginata is just amazing!
