WoW this was EXACTLY what i was looking for! Must be the force at work here... I received what i found out to be a Liberator, in red but my little problem is tha tit is a tat on the heavy side for me, so i cannot spin with it very well which i really would love to do. The pommel is the heaviest point and for a bit too heavy.. (i have some joint problems in my hands) The fact that you state multiple times that its light pleases me beyond recognition, because the Prophecy is exactly what i wanted to go for next. Thanks for this informative reveiw, you helped me ALOT!  (points have been distributed  ) CbrS* |

Very informative review. I do loves me a Prophecy, though I am contemplating the silver version. I did appreciate the contrast with your other, larger sabers as well.

I've held a Libby v2 and v3 and yeah the v3 is a lot more weighty.
The prophecy handles brilliantly with a mid grade and pretty decent in heavy grade as well.

Don't mean to jump in, but I recently acquired this hilt and I love it. I'm a single hander and I find it to be perfect for that purpose. I have somewhat large hands so I find it difficult to employ as a two handed hilt, but if you want to use it for that you always have the option of taking the covertec off - it's as easy as unscrewing it with an allen wrench. |

xanedan provided me with this pic before i bought mine  i find hte wheel can get in the way a bit when you go for a two handed assist but it really depends on your grip, its an incredibly comfortable saber for one handing though |

But I am a one handed person, so the wheel might not be a pain. |

Agreed. I'm a fencer and a Makashi stylist, and this is my current favorite dueling hilt. Absolutely awesome for single handed wielding. |

Sorry Vel if I am doing a bit of thread hijacking here.... So I have my stunt libby, but I am going to be ordering a saber with sound in the few few weeks. And these are the ones I keep kicking around. Again I'm more of a one handed type. (fencer) Dark Prophecy Standard Issue Battle Saber The Monarch Not a clue on my color pick just yet. But I really like all three of these. But its going to be used with my costume. http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=8593.0 |

I don't think you'll like the monarch as a one hander. it's pretty meaty. I got one as a raffle prize, and while it's pretty, it's a lot heavier than any of my sabers save my staff. While it is balanced well with a 36" midgrade blade it just feels more awkward as a one handed saber. I feel better using two with it. The bulbous part at the top is a little weird to hold... I don't know, I just remember that a friend of mine say she didn't like it at all because in her words, "it's just hard to hold."
Standard issue is nice but in my opinion doesn't really say Lightsaber without the blade in. It also doesn't really seem like a one handed saber to me... too much length on it.
The Prophecy has all the right things going for it: wonderfully comfortable gripping points, a great length and weight, and such aesthetic beauty it just tells the world, "I'm a lightsaber!"
What length blade do you use Eiyame? if you go with a 32" mid that thing will fly! Anyway, I say Prophecy all the way.
