Hey, i'm fairly new to the saber scene and i wanted to look for the least heaviest and also thinnest hilt. I felt like these would be better for the type of dueling i would like to do and based on what i saw in the films, the hilts look mostly thin which would fit in the hand better. I used to buy ultrasaber but i felt the lightsabers were too bulky and heavy (not saying they were bad just wasn't my style)

With an OD of a little under 1.5" these are probably what you are looking for.

Actually, if US is too thick in the hand for you, look at MHS v2. Us and MHS are pretty comparible in size most of the time, so if youre looking for something slimmer, the v2 pieces are right up your alley. They are 1.31" OD and feel GREAT in the hand. Don't let the limited selection discourage you, you still have plenty of creative options available to you, and there are more parts on the way.

Just keep in mind that they only have a 1" ID, so full installs with crystal chambers, blinkies, crystal focus, etc is NOT for the faint of heart.

Thats pretty interesting, its a way to completely build your own from scratch. how would i make the hilt thinner though? i noticed all the peices are mostly 1.5" diameter

As Ty Bomber said above, MHS V2 parts have an OD of 1.3"
