TOPIC: Unique Curved Hilt Saber

Took delivery of this discount Saber some time ago and whilst it is quite pathetic in functionality, appearance, finish and construction (not much positive to say other than it literally sucks ) it works well as a surrogate during the down-time waiting for the anticipated delivery of my Saberforge Sabers.



The name of this Saber although varying is commonly recognised by Va-Cuum Cle'Ner. (pronounced var-coom, clay-neer however it is commonly and quite easily referred to as the vack-cume-cleen-er.



It is light, astonishingly light with virtually no weight to it at all. Handy though as it exerts little effort to mindlessly swing and spin as an attempt to pacify boredom. I opted for a 37 inch blade purely as the blade socket depth equals 7.5 inches. The blade colour is called matte-white Morning Dew. There is an included blade in a high chrome polished finish that measures 35 inches closed and with the built-in telescopic function, can extend to an additional 22 inches. For something a little different, included also is a hammer-head blade tip attachment that gives you an extra use.






Observational Specs:
Even with the gentle curve, the Hilt measures 16 inches long and has a diameter of 1.5 inches. It's of a durable plastic construction in a dual-toned finish of Cynicism Red and Blue-steel matte powdercoat.
1. Lever switch activation.
2. After ignition, it reveals a vented crystal-less chamber.
3. There are 2 recessed cut-outs on 9 & 3 positions (where 12 is the activation) of the Pommel for belt clipping.
4. Pretty basic emitter. No shroud, no anything really. About 70% of this is lost when using the telescopic chrome blade. This section (as well as the Pommel) is powdercoated Blue-steel.
5. The primary Grip section (or rear grip with dual hand wield) is made of a vulcanised rubber coloured in Cynicism Red. Provides great grip, it ain't going nowhere when your hand is clenched around it.
6. High acoustic Wide-mouth Vented Pommel. Not for sound superiority. When startup occurs, this thing sucks!
7. Matte white Morning Dew. Brightness is non existent. Works great during the day but at night time, can't see SH*!. There's more illumination just popping the fridge door ajar. 37 Inch blade because of the deep socket. Please note: There is no blade retention when using a 37" blade. So when using, have to simultaneously hold the blade and emitter to not lose the blade. The chrome telescopic fits tight and securely without any screws.










On a Suck-Factor Scale: I rate this a 7/10.
When there's evil debris loitering around, with use of some mystical force they disappear and there is peace again.
On a Saber Performance Scale: I rate this a 0/10
No light. No sound. No aesthetics. No enjoyment. It's a Chore.
On a desperate boredom pacifying scale: I rate this a 2/10.
By imagining really, really, really hard, I have a saber.

I hope for my ongoing sanity, the wait for delivery is fast-tracked. Delirious was long, long ago. My mind right now is far, far away.

Thank you for your attention. Hope you recognise my feeble attempts of humouring my situation even though the Topic likely intrigued your interest for a Curved Hilt.

Hi OvrcAHst,

Real deep (down cleaning) review of your saber sir!

I can see another slight drawback with the design of this saber, that being, you can only engage your opponent if they are within reach of your power cord!

The ironic part of this is, that unless I can perform some Sith Magic and bring my credit card back to life (like Darth Plagueis' claim of creating life) this may be the way I have to go to obtain my next saber!

Anyway thanks for the laugh!

For Tyeth

When sparring with factory sound Yes, there are some slight limitations with advancing positions. However a 10 metre reach ain't a huge disadvantage . When I opt for untethered ad-lib sound it really comes down to how far I'm willing to pursue my opponent. Trying to maintain constant hum and swoosh sounds whilst swinging can become tiring. After a little while, sound more like an asthmatic Darth Vader. Had its use, has been retired now and nothing more than a distant memory.

I'm sorry if my question is dumb, but is this a part of a vacuum clearner or something like that? Because it looks like it haha!

Otherwise if you had a bit of paint to it it could end up being something amazing, that's for sure!

Yeah, he made it as a joke ;D

Hi all,

Just came up with this explanation!



And his father was a vacuum and his father before him!

kind regards,

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Alright, you got me! Great use of my picture! I raise you my hat For Tyeth.

I've got one like that, except chrome... really old model.

I should upgrade my electronics in it, one still has the EL Wire set-up, and the second has a really basic LED set up.
