New to sabers

Save yourself 20 dollars by getting an MR stock blade. You can add a mirror yourself to the tip and for what you are going for it would work fine.

EDIT:

Besides you'd probably find the thick wall blade is WAY too heavy if you are used to the hasbro sabers and are 11 years old.

Aren't the wall blades about 1 1/2 inches? How heavy are they, anyways? Yea I'm 11, but if it's not too heavy I should be ok...

[Lord Maul]

the thick walled blades are 1/8 inch thick on either side. the MR blades are 1/16 inch think on either side. i'd say that the thick walled 36in. blade weighs around a pound and the 36 in. MR blade weighs less than half of that. it doesn't seem like a lot but it is.

[bustinthejus]

what's a walled blade anyways?

[Lord Maul]

the "wall" is the side of the blade. all blades have them, just in varying thicknesses. tim's blades are 1/8 inch thick and the MR blades are 1/16 inch thick

[bustinthejus]

Oh. I dunno I think I should be able to handle one of Tim's blades. 1 pound isn't that much. And I'm assuming the hilt is about 1 pound too.

[Lord Maul]

hilt is around 5 pounds.
one pound for a blade doesn't seem like much but it is because of how long it is. think about it like this: try holding out a yardstick. easy, right. now put a pound on the end of that yardstick. that makes it hard. it is the same thing with lightsaber blades

[bustinthejus]

Well the weight would be evenly distributed through the blade right? So it shouldn't be too heavy. I'll go find 6 pounds and see if I can swing it around.

[Lord Maul]

you don't understand a thing about leverage do you?
i'm just going to let someone else try to tell you

[bustinthejus]

Hehe oh well. I'll look around.
