True and they are awesomeness.

Imagine how quickly they would sell... if anyone got round to actually fabricating some...(nudge, hint, nudge SF)

That is so wicked looking--Now I gotta have something with Bronze and brass, or Bronze and a platinum like color. And 4 weeks from order to delivery !??! :blink: As I enter week 12 of waiting for my Etsy sabers needless to say the color of your blade matches my envious status. You lucky dog!!! :P From what I am hearing here Justin has a wicked fast turn around time--wish I had known that 12 weeks ago---alas, live and learn. If you don't mind me asking does the powder coating add a great amount to the cost? (All things being relative , of course).

By the by--for someone who never has--what is the best way to contact the custom shop?

Haha that would be cool! But no, it's just a reflection of the wood siding on the house ;)

Thanks man! It's no so much the powdercoat that costs extra as Justin's time. He charges by the hour, so the more complicated or involved the build is, the more it costs. The whole thing cost more than my Gladiator, but... WORTH. IT. You can contact the custom shop (aka Justin) at This email address is being protected from spambots.

Excellent thanks for the info. And curse you at the same time, now I am looking at a Fury with a similar powder coat job. :P

That's absolutely amazing design! After seeing this and Ottomatix's Archon, I am definitely considering using a brass finish on a future saber!

Congrats on the saber.
Justin is quite the craftsman, I have 2 sabers currently which he slightly customized and a 3rd I had I sold to Jordan Moll.
I really like the finish you've chosen. I'm at odds with myself however as an internal struggle due to which hilt the finish is on. I'm the type of person that requires canon to be canon (but that's just me personally). I would love to see this finish on something like the Phoenix.
All in all though, great saber and nice mods to make it your own.
Enjoy your treasure :-)

The brass finish gives the hilt a very regal Old Republic vibe... nice job!

I'm not quite clear on which parts are which. Unless my eyes are playing tricks, the body looks silver, with a brass covering (the shroud?) and the emitter lip appears to be the same color, albeit without the reflective polish. Either way, it looks fantastic, but in the interest of knowing what to ask for later down the road, I wanted to make sure I was identifying the parts right.

I think the body which looks silver it the bronze powdercoat.

Hellrazoromega is correct, the main body is a bronze powdercoat. The color actually shifts quite a bit depending on the lighting you're in. It's definitely a lighter bronze, not like the dark color you find on door knobs and such. You are correct with the rest; the shroud has a high polish brass finish and the emitter lip is a standard polish brass.

If you don't mind me asking, how did all that extra customization run you?

Ah, that makes it much clearer. Thanks for sorting them out. Beautiful choices, for sure :)
