Does anyone know where I might find an aesthetically pleasing retention screw upgrade that wouldn't require an allen wrench? I'm looking for something that would feature a low profile knob with a gnarled texture similar to what we see on Saberforge's Monarch saber. Also....how would I go about finding the right size for the the existing hole? Any help that could be offered would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Hi Kjarr,
I can't suggest a suitable replacement but I can tell you that the Retention Screws use an 8/32 thread so any replacement will require this thread gauge. Most hardware stores will carry screws with this thread, though they may need to be cut to length. I hope you find one you like the look of. kind regards, For Tyeth PS This info was found in the FAQ's and Forum Rules pages page which are recommended reading for all members old and new! |

I too have been looking for some knurled thumb screws for 2 of my sabers. I was thinking of these:
https://www.zoro.com/value-brand-thumb-screw-knurled-8-32x516-l-stl-z2312/i/G2812887/ https://www.zoro.com/value-brand-thumb-screw-knurled-8-32x38-l-18-8-ss-z2313ss/i/G1166602/ The first one thread length is .3125 or 5/16 The second one is .375 of 3/8 in You can paint or get them |

The Custom Saber Shop is a main 'go to' resource.
http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/8-32-Thread-C43.aspx Other things I would suggest are tattoo gun machine screws. They are also 8-32 thread but are often 1" in length. Trimming to desired length is easy enough. Here's one I used before… |

Shayne and DSE makes awesome blade plugs. I have 6 of them lol.
I no longer have that custom phoenix though. I had it when they first released in July. Customized it in August when SF customs began and then sold it and bought something else in October. 3/8" is longer than 5/16" but shorter than 1/2" if they have any of that size available? I suppose it depends on the type of screw you're looking for. |
