Anakus, A Clone Wars Era Jedi Saber
This is a saber styled in the vein of my favorite prequel saber the Anakin AOTC. It is not meant to be a replica, but it has a number of design cues taken from various prequel and OT sabers. It is "Graflexy, MPPy, Anakiny". It s completely custom machined saber with a uni-body design and is, therefore exceptionally durable. I worked very hard to achieve the current finish of this hilt. I machined a bunch of subtle details including some knurled "strips" under the grips that mimic the knurled "clamp" on Anakin's ROTS saber. I also did a ton of polishing work with steel wool to give it some texture. There are tons of "polished" sabers out there, but this one is meant to look like it has been used and polished over and over again. I have literally been building this since 2008 (that is the time stamp on my original pictures) and am finally happy with the result. Even though I used t-tack grips, this saber is not as thick and uncomfortable as it's Graflex sisters since the OD is only 1.375", which is much less than a Graflex's OD. I went with my favorite blade color/FoC combo (cyan/salmon) and a gorgeous copper touch plate activation system to finish it off. I also built it with a ton of internal real estate, so I chose an 18650 for epic run time.
