OK so I got a new flat blade and since I've always wanted to do a poll, help me decide on which hilt it looks best.  Cool

Hi Edon,

I like the DSI with the flat blade as the point of the emitter and the point of the blade sort of match up. I would just be a little concerned how the underside of the emitter looked with the slanted opening...but having the blade mounted horizontal rather than vertical is neat.

Nice. I actually really like it with your Dark Arbiter for some reason Tongue I don't dare to venture into the world of flat acrylic blades though x.x

Not sure why exactly, but I like the Arbiter best with that blade.
Might be (for me) that the blade looks wider than the choke of the emitter...

Dark Arbiter looks awesome. Initiate also looks great. But I figure with a flat blade, if you want to actually wield it, having a two hander would help with edge alignment

I think it works best with the initiate, just seems to be the perfect size for it and the lines look good. To me the blade does not look long enough for the Arbiter, the balance just looks off to me.

I'm wiht tx-tuff.    The lines of the Initiate just flow perfectly with that blade.  The DSI is a close second, though!

I'd also vote for the Initiate based on proportions and color harmony.  While I love an Arbiter, that blade just doesn't look long enough to visually balance it in my opinion.

Sure enough the one I hoped for won the most votes, the Initiate so it will stay on it.

And as promised here is a video of me taking the bad boy out for a spin!  Cheesy
