Arvang Apprentice Switch-Body

The machining and alignment are outstanding. I also ordered the Arvang emitter but went with the Bastion pommel to get an additional inch of lower hand grip length. Balance and handling with a 36 inch blade are quick and satisfying even in single hand. I will be fabbing up an extension to go between the emitter and switch-grip in order to get an additional inch of blade socket depth and tapping an additional blade retention **** hole about 1.5 inches below the single stock hole. This is in no way a criticism, just a personal preference and I do this with many of my hilts (when it's sparring week at the club, I can put serious strain on the socket end of the blade, especially since I incorporate some Longsword strikes in my lightsaber work.) On the whole I am extremely pleased with my Arvang components.

This handle is very detailed the grip looks just like something from Star Wars, but the button is not very unique considering that it’s just a circle.
