MALIGNANT FURY

While looking around the forum recently, I noticed that I never posted this saber here. So here it is.... a blast from way back in the past - A SITH SABER. This is an "oldie" so I don't have too many pictures for this one.


This hilt dates back to 2007 right before my hiatus from this hobby. I had picked this saber up on eBay, for what I thought was a decent price at the time. This is a picture I took AFTER I took of the 30 - 40 orange o-rings that made up the grip.

At the time it had an economy board in there with 4AAA pack and a LUX 3 RED (I believe it was). Shortly after I acquired this saber, I had decided to walk away from this hobby for a while. I had the desire to get this saber upgraded last summer, and so ended my "hiatus" from this hobby.

Once I had decided to get back into the hobby, I had a Crystal Focus 2.1 laying around (that needed some repair), so Erv' was nice enough to do the repair work and upgrade to 4.31 for me on the two CF's I had. Once I had these back in my possession, I created "Malice". I had used a 5W "DEEP RED", which at the time was one of the very first sabers to use a Deep Red. As I recall, we were all experimenting between Deep Red, Far Red and "straight" Red at the time.

Over the holidays a few years ago, "Malice" had an accident and the threads got locked between the main body and the choke section (which was an original piece. Since I wasn't completely thrilled with the main body design that I had originally selected, I decided to go in a different direction this time around and had Tim make me a knurled main body section. I also found out along the way that "Malice" was the name of a run of sabers done by someone else, and I didn't want to be confused with that. Needless to say, Tim does fantastic work, and made the new main body section as well as pre-drilled the choke section for me. I also took this opportunity to redo the internals a little bit.

Thanks to Azmaria for the name suggestion, and to Fender, Allaerra, Tim, Erv' for their help along the way.

Beautiful saber. Probably need to wear Kevlar gloves when swinging it around though. Excellent use of the spikes.

[Silver Serpent]

Not bad at all. Although I'd hate to have it swinging on my hip. Probably poke holes in my robes.

I thought I recognized this one. I like the before-and-after picture set because of how very drastically different it looks. Funny how much things have changed in seven years.

I love it, especially the power button facing the pommel. The spikes are very.. very punk and that's cool for a lightsaber. And of course the overall simplicity adds appeal to me too.

[Defcon4]

Wow, that is Awesome. very menacing.

[Starwinder]

Ah yes, i've seen this one around, but it's great to see up-close pics and hear about its history and transformation. It looks really menacing! And um ... spiky! (I think i cut an eyeball just looking at it)

I actually redid this saber years ago, just never got around to posting it here, until now. While it wasn't my first, it is mainly the only one of that era that "survived" and I had taken pictures of.

Nope, it's fairly easy and "safe" to use in a fight, IF you know how to handle it.

A FJK classic!! If you were a Sith and weren't carrying this, I'd immediately know you were some kind of cyborg.

Looks like it might need another upgrade for some FoC? at some point. However, I understand having the LEDengin deep red. Personally, it's my favorite red LED.

I'll add it to my bucket list, but I have more pressing builds going on at the moment, especially the one due at the end of August.
