Did the useful thread "Length of hilts" go away?
The thread helped us for decision making.
If anyone have the record, please rebuild it.(seeing Mario-san) ;)

It was in the General Store Q&A before that section was removed. I didn't make a copy of it. Didn't imagine they would close a section like that.

I will talk to Phil about what it would take for him to include all hilt dimensions on the website listings. That information should be listed publicly and easily, especially if all SF sabers are available for sale as DIY projects at the empty initiate level.

That would be both great and very useful! Janus is right, it was useful in the decision making process!

Yeah I want a good dual wield saber: Shorter
Wanna make a long saberstaff/be able to hold my saber with both hands without problem: longer!

Hope Phil agrees to add this precious info !

Thanks Mario!
Public information from SF is the most advisable!
Length, weight, diameter(in/out) and pommel screw size for compatibility with staff coupler are needed. I guess.
If possible, details of accessories (like venom claw, juggernaut side blade) should be added too.
I often see the threads about those.

This is a great idea... what I would also like to see is blade insertion depths from model to model. I would think between hilts like PS and Epoch there is a big delta.

I'm about to order a Consular and I'm trying to decide on blade length, but how deep it goes into the hilt makes a big difference for me. If anyone knows this it would be greatly appreciated.

Exactly!
When someone tends to make saber staff with two different sabers, insertion depth might be important.

For hilts without blade Windows, I believe the depth of blade socket is typically 1.5" it might go as deep as 2" but I dunno.

Rejoice with exceeding gladness, my friends. Phillip and I will be adding hilt length, inner diameter, blade holder diameter, blade plug length, and pommel threading dimensions for all sabers on the website and etsy this week.

As far as I know, they haven't actually been added yet. Sorry I didn't save a copy of my original thread. Which hilt are you wondering about? Maybe I can help you.

I was wondering about this too. I like the longer hilt sabers for a wide grip.

Heh. I tend to go in the other direction. I prefer short, 1 hand hilts. Although I do have a saber that is about 60" long and about 30" of that is hilt. That's a different ballgame than a regular 2 handed sword, though.

But yeah, in general, I like hilts about as short as I can get em. I built a 6" hilt once but that's a liiiittle bit too short. I made it for a child, not me. I like hilts around the 8-9" range.

Generally (and this may speak to my thin birdlike wrists) I've found that that my speed/power are pretty crappy if my hands are placed close together. If my hands are about five inches apart I can use my top hand as a fulcrum for quick, powerful, and precise movements. Maybe the closest analogy is.... kendo? Whenever I see people swinging their sabers around in wide arcs I roll my eyes a bit at the wasted energy and the wide openings they create in their stance. Meh. To each their own.

I'm really curious to see how the Archon turns out. Its' concept picture seems to indicate it'll have a longer hilt.

I know what you're saying. My 60" saber was built to function like a Nagamaki. But the grip is long enough to spin like some kind of staff/spear hybrid.

Fun to play with.

I am actually looking a little further down the road to the Regal. The design is very compelling to me, and the length looks to be in the 12-13" range. Just right for a split two-hand grip.
Imagine what you will know tomorrow....
