So, as some of you know I recieved a Initiate V5 for my raffle prize. I was not happy with the claws invading my choke point and I prefer a dark saber. Don't get me wrong, it is a nice saber and I love the new grip pattern and the emitter and pommel are awesome to look at, just not the most practical for easy handling. So I went ahead and trimmed its claws and put a base black coat on it as I decide if I will give it some weathering, or silver accents, or color highlights. It now is much easier to spin and I love it. Just can't decide if I'll use the pommel it came with or something different depending on the customization I go with. Before:  After:   |

Looking good so far. Also the Dominix with the catalyst pommel looks excellent

Looking good there, DBTD! I like how you’re not afraid to make it yours and began painting it. Following this thread carefully as always since I’m eager to see what your plans are for it. Looking good so far, expect anothermpoint within the hour.

To me this looks like what the V5 emitter claws should have been, great customization for sure. I'm happy to see you got that sweet choke point back to utilize.

Thanks all, I agree haz, this to me is how they should be especially since the previous Initiate/Dominix lines are super spin friendly and their choke points are the highlight of the sabers.

Very nice looking! That's a really cool looking metallic paint. So is the pommel end completely as wide open as the concept photos show it to be?

I really like what you did with the claws. I'm looking forward to seeing it as you continue to customize it.

Wowzer, now that's a hole... I think it's time for US to jump on that pommel-insert wagon.  |
