I would like to start off this review by saying the Malice is probably the biggest, most unnecessary saber I have had the privilege of owning. That being said, it is amazing and works very well (size and dimension wise), and I love it.
I have named this saber 'Dragon' for a very specific reason. I ordered this beauty when I was offered a job at Drexel University, my first real job out of college. Drexel's mascot is the Dragon, so I figured it would fit.
I ordered this saber with the silver square pommel, obsidian sound, silver activation box with a red illuminated switch, a red LED, red accent button, and large claws (go big or go home, right?).
The saber comes apart into 5 sections (counting the claws as 1), providing you with many combinations to make a custom saber for you.
Like I said, the size of this saber is ridiculous. And along with the length, comes weight. This saber is a heavy-weight, and makes my custom Raven seem like a twig in my hands.
The Malice is very top heavy (due to the large claws), but that doesn't bother me that much. And as for the grip, I find it the most comfortable to hold the saber just below the ridged section (below the claws) with my top hand, and below the activation box with my trailing hand.
In closing, this is a beautiful display saber, but also a very effective weapon. Not designed for quick attacks or one-handed dueling. This is a "strong-man" saber, designed for hard, two-handed strikes.
I love it, if I was to order this saber again, I would probably go with the small claws, just for a practical stand point.

And finally, showing off my current collection, my custom Raven, Malice, and rebuilt MR Darth Maul FX saber.
I have two other sabers, but they are currently getting fixed up
