Here is a new customer saber I just finished for a customer, it is all machined from aluminum and it is 12.5 inches long with a weathered finish on the hilt. The visible quartz crystal is lighted by a high brightness 5 mm led. The crystal is mounted in a custom machined mount and the crystal is housed in a short section of polycarbonate tubing. The saber has a red lux 3 main led and a mr fx sound board.
