Blade retention question

[jedi_ the0ry]

How does the blade stay on the hilt? I know for the Parks removables, a thumbscrew holds the blade in. This would be on a Vader ESB.

thumbscrew with tim holder too.

You dont know the POWER, of the dark side...

So, a question for you all abou the thumbscrew. Do you guys just pin the blade in with the thumbscrew, or do you dent the blade (drill into the plastic, but not all the way through) and then fit the screw into the little niche, or do you drill all the way through the wall of the blade and fit the screw in that?

It just pushes into the side of the blade. You do nto need to drill into the blade.
