But, other than that, I can say this is probably the greatest saber I've had so far. The hilt is a simplistic yet menacing build, and to me is very sturdy. This hilt I'm able to use one handed and I'm able to duel wield as well. The color is a VERY nice bright and full purple in person, and I can say I'm very pleased with the blade color and the Obsidian capabilities. Thanks to Alex and Matt for Obsidian, and to Emory for a job well done of both of my Bane hilts. If there's any question on how the Bane handles while dueling or spinning, please feel free to ask, and I'll answer as best as I can.

Very nice, I really like the bane and that purple really suits it well.

Very cool saber man, much like the one I'm giving my brother this Christmas. I really like the Bane, it's a nice simple two handed hilt. Just curious, why did you go for the same saber with different AV switches? I noticed your sig has two VA Banes. Just thought there might be some master plan there  |

Well, I was originally going to go for an AB Bane, but I decided one the first Bane I bought that I really liked the purple, so I figured, "Eh, why not get another purple one?", not only is purple my favorite color, but in my Jedi groups in real life, no one has a purple saber, and I don't really count RGBs if they don't use the purple on them often. So I decided to introduce purple to the groups.

Interesting. In the store pics, the Bane looked like a freakin' monster of a hilt. In these, not so much.

not ever having handled one before I was always concerned with the diameter of the hilt hindering responsiveness. How do you Bane owners find the thickness of the hilt?

Not much wider than a Bellicose, maybe 1/32 it 1/16 of an inch.

Do you think the new Guardian saber is bulky as they are making it seem? Or is it speculations like how they thought the Bane saber would be at first? Huge on camera but not as much in person and in hand?

Hard to say DC. I've been looking for a TPM for well over a year now, but wanted a fully functional one, and without the high cost of some out there... even on ebay. The Guardian is ordered and as soon as I get it I'll do a review unless someone else does one first.

The Bane actually fits really nicely in the hand, and has good grip on it as well. It actually exceeded my expectations. To me, it's really sturdy and very versatile. I've got nothing bad to say about the Bane so far, probably never will. I'm just waiting on my first Bane to come back in so I can do some vids on duel wielding the two.

@Revan. You're making me want a Bane more and more. xp I'm just going to go for one but mine will be pure evil Sith red with my custom Sith fonts. ;o I got like 3 or 4 of them made but yeah. I'm going to use the more pre-quel sounding font I made specifically for the Bane and eventually Raven saber when I get it.
