Even though you already saw this one from the contest I wanted to show what I love about this saber. This saber really is a joy to duel with, its very small and light making it agile. I'm particularly proud of the push-button switch that comes through the emitter section, the placement is perfect for easy on/off without compromising grip. The o-rings on the hilt provide stability and slip protection.
I just really enjoy combat with this light little number.
I usually try to imagine the Type of character that wields any saber I make and this one was always for a Lady Jedi, I wanted it to be simple and elegant but, ultimately highly functional.













I know that you've already seen it but, I ended up not liking the pictures I took for the contest. Like a new parent I just want everyone to love my "child" as much as me. (laugh) that just got weird didn't it?
Thanks,

The blade looks very even. What's in it?

[Aradian Valentine]

oh, that is a Makotosai led strip.

V3s?

Cause it sure looks like what I have in my Obi.

By the way, that saber is VERY awesome. I absolutely love the emitter section, Love it.

[Eomund]

Very nice. Love the use of the MJ grip at the emitter. Do you have any issues with accidentally turning the saber off while dueling?

[Aradian Valentine]

Thanks
No the activation switch is a rather hardy latching switch that requires nearly full depression to trigger.

Definitely one of my favorites from the contest. This makoto string blade seems very bright. It's difficult to achieve a great hilt without fancy things, but you did it. Elegant, fast looking, the switches and screws in the right locations, functional. This hilt could have been in a SW movie. I really like it.
A flawless looking saber
