Hey guys and gals,
Here is my latest build... Its a custom MHS based stunt I have named Espada... This saber features a P4 white, a bezeled latching swtich, a d-ring pommel, and a leather wrapped grip. :) I chose the name Espada, because this is the 10th saber I have built, or significantly worked on... The name is reference to the anime Bleach, if there are any fans around here... I am extremely pleased with the outcome of this saber, and hope you like it as well... Happy Star Wars Day!!!!

Agreed, good wrap job - has a bit of a Rahm Kota feel to it now :)

Sweet saber. My bro likes Bleach but I'm not too much of a fan. The blade looks more blue to me on the pics. You sure its white? XD I like the leather grip.

"Espada" is the spanish word for sword, also... Nice one, I like that blade holder and the leather cord grip :-)

Thanks for the compliments guys... This is probably my favorite saber I've built... I was originally building this as a "sell" saber, but once it was finished, I changed my mind... :)

Its funny, to the naked eye this saber is def white, but does look a bit "bluish" in the pics...

Cool saber. When I saw the thread name I thought the saber was going to look like a zanpaktou or something.

What kind of tape did you use for the grip? I made a grip similar to that, except mine was blue yarn with duct tape and it turned out ok, but duct tape probably isn't the best thing to use... i was just wondering what you used... here's a pic of my hilt for reference. It's a PVC hilt for my cousin's b-day.
