I've heard the forked emitter on the acolyte and disciple is very sharp and needs to be sanded. Are these people just over reacting, or should I sand it down? And if so, what's the best way to do it so I don't damage my hilt in any way?

Nope, they aren't overreacting. A nail file or an emery board works best. It's easier to be precise with it.

GrayHood,

Similarly as =Ottomatix= has written, the method by which the shroud is milled creating the fork, it's not uncommon for there to be a sharp edge. Yours (soon to be) may not have this trait present and be completely fine and acceptable in your hands.Much like an emery board, I personally use a battery powered nail tool that achieves excellent results. The products use may be unorthodox however I've had great success with it as it also includes a buffing pad and a polishing pad. Its use isn't limited to smoothing sharp edges either. These are available in pharmacies everywhere here in Australia. Unsure if the product is available to you (presuming US) but an example of it is here. Hope it helps you as it does me.

One little swipe with the nail file along the edge should be enough |

I use an emery board marketed for babies; it's a very fine grit that minimizes scratching around the edge you're filing.
