Atok Mhar, a Custom MHS-based saber by LDM
A friend of mine asked me if I could reproduce a design that he had cobbled together from 3-4 other sabers that he had seen. The picture that he gave me was a mix of Kota's saber, some part of a Vader's Vault saber, a ribbed section and a wrapped grip section. Out of respect for the Vault crew, I did not re-create their section that was pictured, but I did a whole new shroud design instead. I did semi-borrow the switch placement however (you'll see in the build pix). Anyways, he wanted the saber to have a satin/matte weathered look (which I am always happy to provide), a red LED and an MR soundboard. I made him a custom grip section and pommel, then machined a ribbed grooved section into a unique design and a windowed BH into a version of itself with a ringed/flanged emitter. Finally, he wanted a leather or faux leather grip. He has already seen the hilt, but not the finished saber so here it is, enjoy:
