NB: All designs use 12W Medium Blue LED

1- Weathered Sinister Prophecy with a custom bronze stingray leather grip. Both sabers placed so the emitters are doing a counter-mirror effect. (Can't explain that right...)
2- Standard Venom with black claws and a custom black reptile leather grip.
3- Weathered Gladius with bronze Stingray leather grip

All staffs are coming with a short staff coupler except the first design, who clearly needs a long staff coupler

The saber must fit the character: Kirian Starforge, male Jedi Knight that survived the destruction of the Jedi Temple during the attack of coruscant made by the sith (Old Republic). He was a guardian of the temple (so trained in the art of the saberstaff). He's now fighting the empire on his own.

I responded ona different thread. I think the Gladius is the way to go for a staff weapon.

But in the end, go with what makes you happy and feeks right to you.

Keep us posted and send pictures.

Be sure that I will post pictures as soon as I get the staff! I'll order on the next 15%, which is I think a smart move! I'll probably try to have a rush on it! My first staff idea got stabbed in the back by a difference ine the thread pitches (which explains why I have two epochs), I don't want to wait another 2 and a half month to finally have it!

Thanks to all those who voted! It's very appreciated! I will go for a custom venom, all weathered with a bronze stingray leather grip and a 12w medium blue color! Warrior or champion will depend on how much money I can gatter in the nex weeks!

On that, I'm off to work!

Both Daniel Lane and Phillip have made comments that the Gladius is not optimal as a staff with the projecting pommel bottom that it is uncomfortable in staff form. I would advise against it if the owner and a tech / fluent user is advising against it.

I know, and that's the main reason why I decided not to use Gladius hilts to make my staff!

Hey I thought about something else: What about a Katana Staff? 2 Weathered Round Pheonix sabers with black reptile leather grips and 12W medium blue?

What do you guys think about this? I WANT OPINIONS!

I never really liked the Katana design as a lightsaber. It looks too silly. But if you like the design, then by all means.

I'd stick with the descents ;)

Yeah I get why the Katanas are made but I do not prefer them.

I would not look at it as a Light saber, I would look at as a Katana training stick that lights up.

I finally made my decision! I want your opinions!

Sorcerer Staff (standard finish) with a long staff coupler all weathered (so it matches the end of both hilts), champion Tier with quick disconnect 6W Medium blue LEDS! I'm gonna order 2 6W Red LEDS so I can switch between both!

What do you guys think?

I knew you couldn't resist the Sorcerer :P

Sounds good, but why not 12W LEDs? Or will those be gotten later?

Later! See, the overall price would be too high to begin with! I'm gonna wait for a 15% discount to order! This is gonna be a ''long term'' project I'm gonna upgrade with better parts over time!

Speaking of making decisions, i've just ordered my saberstaff! :) 2 consulars, one champion and one warrior (warrior is also going to be my practice spins and throw saber so didn't want to risk a broken soundboard when i drop it lol) both weathered with 12W quick disconnect amber LED's and a weathered staff coupler! Beyond excited :D

No doubt, but I'm planning on ordering before that! See I'm trying to get my staff ASAP! I'm building a video project with my brothers and we need to be ready to shoot this summer! The Choregraphy is almost done, but since I'm living 350km away from them during winter, practicing is not something I do very often, Especially my staff parts!

Staffs are so much more exciting than regular sabers :P

While i personally am not a fan of claws on hilts, i think the saber will look superb! and you definitely put a lot of thought in before you ordered :) One thing i definitely will look forward to seeing is some spinning with one blue and one Red LED :P

INDEED THEY ARE! Some people just don't understand what's the fuzz around Saberstaff! It's pretty simple! It's the beauty of the art! Manipulating a Saberstaff is much more challenging than using a Solo/Dual Wield Stance, and the result is SO DAMN beautiful!
