I agree, I think a covertec is great, but I just think it should either be place closer to the bottom or top of the hilt. Same with the switch. I think there should be a little more room for play on the hilt. I remember the weapon you are talking about. I have played a bit with that. When I used to do some Poi stuff, we had some short staffs as well.
Cool idea. I could see that. Always wanted to see more window/hole designs as well on the saber.

I swear we have identical sabers in mind. I would LOVE to see a switch higher up on the hilt, I never brought it up or suggested it because there may not be enough room in terms of circuitry. I'm about to post a "progression of sabers" topic (just need to take pics) and I'll talk about that, keep an eye out for it. An initiate/shoto saber that I've really come to like is Ahsoka Tano's, specifically the emitter (anakin-ish) and the base (Obi-won-ish). But also if you look at the back half it is slightly bigger, leaving a 'pocket' for the single handed grip:  |

Those TCSS hilts are 10" minimum. 10 inches long is not what I would consider a short saber. Ten inches is a standard 2 handed hilt length.

I agree, although the one on the bottom right has my favorite emitter. The Initiate out now is about 8.5 inches so anywhere under that would be awesome. (Ultra posted in the discussion! Acknowledgment leads to potential results...) also, what about the ability to add mini claws? Just for those Sith out there.

Really? Cause the builder said that they were all 9 1/2 at the longest(I built them individually first). Is that not an accurate measurement that the program gives? |

I like the sleekness of Ahsoka's hilt. Just loose that little box maybe. I built some pvc stunt sabers and I used about a 6-7 in. hilt design with about a 23 in. blade and they worked pretty well.

Hmm, not sure, I think we will need an exact number on that. But, I have to say light. Very light and very easy to handle. If you have any other US or MR saber or anything like that which is regular sized, it is maybe half the weight? Especially if the blade is shorter.

I would love to see a short liberator personally
That would be the old Ultrasabers Kestrel, as posted above. It is a really nice hilt. |
