Carrying Methods, Exotic and Non. How do you carry your sabers?

[Bern Sal Becca]

Interesting technique! I've always thought I'd like to see more emitter end clips and rings out there. It was interesting to me that Vader did it in the OT, and I liked seeing the variety and the way it set a character's weapon apart. It adds to the personality of the character and his weapon.

Thanks, it definitely does set it apart, plus the draw is quicker

Had a thought recently that perhaps a Jedi in exile could have a saber holster that is disguised to look like it has a blaster in it.  Meaning, perhaps a holster with fake pistol grip and what appears to be the barrel is actually the lightsaber?

Just got my saber in manroon, so i can post a pic of the placement for the covertec

All of this talk about D-rings has me thinking about doing one myself. I have an idea for converting a covertec set up to a D-ring but I am wondering what methods others have used. What is the best way to attach a D-ring to an Ultra Saber??

There is this:

Also, a lot of these ideas seem sort of impractical to me, or just unnecessary outside of a fan film. I'm working on an idea for a con this summer. I want to take my saber, but I can't be bothered to leave the blade out in the car all the time. SO! I'm going to make a scabbard of sorts for the blade only. that way I can keep both blade and hilt on me without worrying about it getting in the way! I have a 36" blade and I refuse to sacrifice length for convenience So I'll be making a scabbard out of something or other, then maybe attaching a covertec wheel or clip to that so I can show em both off at the con!

On a related note, I'm working on some sort of quick "blade attachment" mechanism, something that will let me slip the blade on and it lock right off.

Sorry but that link did not work, at least not for me. Is it some sort of a part that Ultra Sabers already sells? The name suggests something that slips between the pommel and body. I do not see anything like that on their website. Am I missing somehting?

I was thinking about just taking off the covertec wheel, getting a thin piece of aluminum to wrap around a D-ring, drill a hole in the stip and then run a screw through it into the tapped hole from the covertec.

I agree, though, that the D-ring set up would be more of a cosmetic thing. Not that the covertecs are really a "quick draw" set up but the D-ring and snap clip seems like it would take two hands to get your saber off your belt. Not sure how Luke or Vader were able to draw their sabers quickly, especially Vader with the gloves on. Maybe the used the force!

Whoops sorry! That was a link to TCSS, I forgot I can't post those. Just go to their site and look up that pommel, it has a built in D-Ring in the pommel, I think.

I really love the covertec wheels, but I'm open to trying a D-ring out on my saber even though they look much more inconvenient as you said XD

Well, with my new long handled saber coming in about a month... I would have to say my carrying method would have to be completely Cloud Strife style 

[Rina Ascura]

I carry mine in, surprise-surprise, my handbag.

There's plenty of fun stuff in my handbag. Lightsabers, newspapers, books on Marxism, papirosa (old style Russian cigarettes), wrenches, axes, and so on.

I put my hilts in a backpack and wrap my blades in a Spider-Man blanket. Not the fanciest or coolest way, but it gets the job done.

[Deceptae]

omg me too! but I use fishing line to hold blades together. or rubber bands.
but the back sheath looks pretty cool. so does the thigh holster. but I would attach a covertec clip to the top of the holster for extra security. I have never had a problem with the covertec though, I can do it with one hand pretty fast. just use your thumb on one tab, middle finger on the other, with the others on the hilt, only problem is that my hand ends up on the bottom of the hilt, but that is quickly fixed. i think it's cause I have it on my right hip and i get it off with my right hand. I should practice with my right hip and my left hand, so I can put my right hand on the front where it belongs!

Why would you have books on Marxism in your handbag?
