I saw somewhere that someone had sewn a long pouch type thing on the inside of their robe. So when they wanted to have to hilt on their belt, they just slid the blade into this pouch. Which is what I'm planning to do.

I've used both D rings and Covertec. I prefer Covertec and I'm working on some other stuff too.

I just realized I never posted a pic of the saber holster I made for my Aeon V2. I'll have to get around to that...

Was thinking about creating a gravity draw back holster for mine. I do medieval style combat and I am wanting to get into lightsaber combat as well. I wear my long blade that way when I do archery. Slanted across my back from right hip/buttock and draw bye pulling down and rotating forward. If I was wearing a handle with no blade I would wear it across the small of my back along the belt line.
But with the cross back was thinking of having a shoulder strap from belt hip to belt hip and integrate that into my costume. Then have a retaining ring at the top for the tip of the blade and the convertec clip on the bottom side so all I have to do is grab the pommel lift up and rotate it around.
Thoughts?

We are gray. We stand without the corruption of the darkness or the Rigidity of the light. We bend and flow through the galaxy with the force as our guide. Just as the living force flows in all things, we embrace all things. Balance is the path of the force, so balance we seek...

Had the thought of using a rubber O-ring (like those water bottle carriers) on a costume that doesn't have a good place for a covertec - you could attach one so it was hanging off the bottom edge of a piece of armor, for example.

I know this is an older thread but I am responding to it becasue this thread is what got me doing a little research. It took me a little time to do this research (what, I've been busy...and I forgot to do it).
OK, I started to look at Vader and how he carries his saber. In all of the decades of me watching Star Wars, it never occured to me that he carries his saber in what we would consider an inverted manner. I looked at stills from the movies and it is consistant throughout the films. I looked at stills of this saber hilt and of course, the d-ring is near the emitter (which I am sure has something to do with the flash tube the prop is made from). But what I can not find about Vader's hilt and carry style is why it is like this.
Was there ever an explaination in any EU story as to why Vader carried his hilt emitter up on his belt?

Vader's carrying style is likely due to the relatively limited range of motion/dexterity the armor allows him.
With the emitter up, he can grasp the saber in optimum duelling position without having to rotate the saber and bring the blade to bear that much quicker for his fighting style (and that much easier to protect the central armor controls).

That makes perfect sense. Did you read that somewhere or is that your own theory? Looking at it again...is does look like it would be easier to do a d-ring draw the way he has it than the way Luke carries his. |
