    Default Lightshoto Cuprisium by LDM

    Lightshoto Cuprisium

    This is a project that started as a little saber for my son from a single piece of 1.5" OD x 1.0" ID aluminum stock. It ended up as a full fledged project since I decided he wanted a CSv1 Shoto that I had been keeping. This project is a uni-body design meant to be durable. It is only 9" long. It has a green 12mm AV switch and a custom 1" LED module. I went with my favorite copper powder coating and a knurled grip. I wanted to make it very tool-like and comfortable for off-hand use. The only part that comes off is the pommel which has a Rebellion insert. I also used a 20mm Railmaster speaker with a custom resonance chamber. The battery is an 18650 (2400 mAh). The blade is a gorgeous Teal and the FoC is Salmon...yes it is my favorite combo Finished her off with Nightstorm's JK2 Outcast and zing! Enjoy!

    I like. Short, sweet, simple.

    Really sweet little saber... very nice visual balance and texture. Like the 12mm switch, too...

    Nice. I like the hilt design. Reminds me of something a Youngling might use.
