I love this saber.

Thanks dude, I'm happy you like it! Smiley

Yiggy, you can absolutely get a black anodized AV switch. That might blend in rather well.

Yeah, I've seen that lately! Might send it back for adding that and sound some time in the future, but for now I'm planning on getting another saber. Red this time!

Haha, really? How much are we talkin'? Wink
Edit: Nah probably won't sell it for a while... Thinking of buying another one and customising it the same way to make a staff!

Well, not really. I added some adhesive to the hilt before and also soaked the leather so that it would tighten a bit when it dried! Kind of depends on what type of leather tho.

I was thinking about picking up some leather scraps from Michaels , I would love to use a little adhesive as possible. in some of the hilts or staffs I have wrapped in the past I get decent results just wrapping as tight as I can and tucking the end back in on itself then twisting it as tight as I can go in the same direction of the wrap.

I am not a leather worker, so thanks. Do you have any recommendations as to what type of leather i may want to look into?

Ah I see, cool! Yeah that often works as well, no need to do it as complicated as me, haha! No worries at all, happy to help! Although I really don't know that much either. Just go for a leather that you like the look and feel of. Maybe not too soft or 'stretchy', as it most likely would be stretched and deformed when using the saber. Go for something sturdy. Smiley And if you'd like to try soaking it, go with something that hasn't been treated with a lot of stuff, oils and such. As I said, I'm no expert but this has worked for me and left me with at wrap that's really stuck to the hilt/handle of whatever I wrapped and easy to cut off, should I change my mind! I hope this helps. Smiley
