JaRule217 Offline New Member Posts: 8	Hello everyone, thinking about pulling the trigger on getting the grandmaster staff and was wondering what blade length would be better for it? 34 or 27?

Well, you should bear in mind that staffs or dual bladed sabers are generally weapons for close quarters, intending to trip the opponent up and keep him from striking your handle, which has less and less protection the longer it is. You don't want to be having too long of blades. I'd personally recommend the shorter blades.

There is a video somewhere in the Sparring category about wielding dual bladed sabers, and I found it very interesting. It's about an hour long, but the first fifteen or 20 minutes are really about dual bladed sabers. That should help you.

Good luck on your saber!

Ultimately though, it's all based on personal preference. If you're exceptionally tall or short, you can adjust the length accordingly based on what you think will work best for you.

The hilt is 21" long and with two 27" blades installed it's roughly 6' in length total. So with two 32" in blades it'll be nearing 7' h2soy has the Grandmaster. You can pick his brain and see what the full hilt length is and can go from there.
