    Updated, this saber has been


    Polso d'oro V2, the Weathered Version

    This design has been floating around in my mind for a while. It is part of my "Sith Stalker" Series. That is simply a series of sabers (opposite the Jedi Hunter Series) meant to have been used by Jedi "assassins" who hunted Sith. I have not finished until now because I just felt it was missing "something". I wanted it to be very simple and elegant. The machined detail is subtle, but those who own sabers with my interpretation of "subtle detail" will wholeheartedly attest to the fact that it makes all the difference. See if you can figure out what is MHS and what isn't. I went with a classic color scheme (black with a gold choke) capped with solid polished aluminum (emitter and pommel). The recessed AV switch is my new purple ring AV and matches the blade color virtually perfectly. Oh yeah, what was the little detail it was missing? The KKD-Ring. KKD stands for "Kinda-Kobold-D" ring. Don't know what made me think to make it, but I am glad I did because now this exceptionally solid little saber is finished. It is 100% custom hand machined by me. Please no requests for me to make them. It took me an hour to do. Worth it in this case because it is indeed one of those elegant little details. I also went with some of my brass mesh in the windows of the pommel insert as another little detail. One cool thing internally is that there is a milled slot in the machined resonance chamber. The chamber slides into the hilt only one way (the KKD-ring screws line up with the milled slot) and is very secure. It is kinda difficult to explain, but this thing is SOLID.

    Okay, that verbiage is a cut-and-paste...all I did was weather it

    Particulars:
    Highly customized MHS-based hilt
    Crystal Shard v1 with Darth Xusia's "Fear"
    TruPurpleTM Blade with Green FoC
    18650-based 2400 mAh Li-ion
    Machined ResonanceTM
    LDM 28mm HO speaker
    TruPurpleTM AV Switch
    Powder Coating
    KKD-RingTM(Oh yes I did TM)
    1" Optics Module (not MHS)
    Triple-Baked enamel WeatheringTM

    As always, your weathering techniques are top notch.
    We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.
