For some reason, I don't get approached to make Sith hilts very often. If they only knew how attuned to the Dark Side I am
This was fun, I got to make this for a local guy I met through a facebook cosplay group that was recommended to me by a member here. I'm excited to get to hand deliver it to him since that is so rare in this hobby.
The saber has a custom machined blade/led holder combo similar to MHS style blade holders but made at less than 1.25" OD, that is mated to a solid mandrel bent piece of 6063 aluminum that. Blade holder, shroud and pommel insert were machined from 6061. The main hilt is polished and painted with Duplicolor Shadow black out 2 part paint. 5 coats of color and 3 of clear for a dark but still shiny finish. It has finger grip indents milled into the underside of the curve and then the hilt is wrapped in gator embossed genuine leather from Defconbird. It runs a NBv4, dRdRrB TriCree, 24mm Saber Essentials speaker, 16mm red ring AV switch. Board and 2.1mm recharge port are in a machined delrin chassis easily accessed through the pommel cap.
