I do like their hilts and interested by their 3W with hearing aid batteries.

There's a thread on this on FX Sabers. Nobody has really dealt with them before, and thus no real info about quality.

actually some nice looking hilts.
might be worth the 40bucks to order one just to see.

I think I've seen one of these.

I went to a 501st/RL Event last weekend and a friend had a Revan hilt she was using with her costume. She said she paid $35 for it on ebay, so I think it's this same company. She posted the 1st pic above, when she was talking about it on another message board.

It looked well made. It was extremely light, too.

I've got a couple of their hilts, i posted pics of them in the custom saber gallery a couple of days ago.

I got the KOTOR Darth Revan Lightsaber (i added a Japanese style wrap to it) and the Knight of the Old Republic Lightsaber. But when I bought them they were using a different user name, they were using 'tattoosby5' which was apparently a friends account and not theirs!

As i said in the other post the hilts look ok but they are just glued together and the only screw on them is the one to hold the pommel on.

I also had problems getting them, waiting almost 3 months for delivery and I wasn't the only one.

The only other problem with the hilt is that theres just enough room to fit a 4AAA battery holder in it with a little modification to the holder, you have to cut the corners of the holder. Also it would be a bit of a tight fit to get some kind of sound board in it.

Theres no way i'd buy another one! But thats my own opinion!

So, hard to fit sound.. but at that price I'm thinking they might be great for a stunt saber?

I wouldn't recommend any kind of hard core dueling with them. Unless like me you add some more screws. The glue isnt the greatest and they will just break apart. The emitter on the Darth Revan actually came off thats why I used extra screws!

I got the KOTOR style one too.

Ordered in July, but due to some problem with the shipping name, Customs & Excise were opening up any that came this side of the pond.

I eventualy got the replacement last month, just haven't got around to luxing it yet.
