Building the best lightsaber for combat

is ultimately a subjective experience

due to preferences in length, weight,

and the feel of the saber in your hands.

While the style, color, and sound

increase a lightsaber’s aesthetic appeal,

dueling is primarily a function of the

hilt, and its feel and maneuverability in

the hand. A combat-ready saber should

always be paired with a heavy grade

dueling blade. The following presents

various hilts that when paired with a

selection of blade colors and sounds

will create the best dueling lightsaber.

The Dark Prophecy v3 is a stunt saber made

from aircraft grade aluminum and comes

with a full sized blade, brass retainers,

removable pommel, and a custom machined

aluminum covertec wheel specifically crafted

for this saber. Tactile feedback and control

were primary considerations when designing

the grips. The switch is recessed into the hilt

for optimum performance and durability.

Specs: 11” in length, 1.45” maximum width

Sound capable: Yes

Like every Ultra Saber, the Overlord is ready for

combat. It is made from aircraft grade aluminum

and can handle rigorous use over and over again.

With its low profile removable knurled pommel

and removable emitter, this saber is sleek. It has

a lack of decorative buttons, which is beneficial

in that nothing gets in the way for dueling. As a

stylistic feature, there are windows in the

emitter to give the saber a unique accent when

the blade is illuminated.

This saber is also available in an RGB version,

which allows for 7 different colors in one hilt.

Specs: Standard 12 ¼” in length

Sound capable: Yes

Specs: RGB 13 ½” in length

Sound capable: Yes

The Manticore is one of the most

streamlined sabers and is made from

aircraft grade aluminum. It has a

pronounced flanged emitter with windows

that let light shine through, along with an

aesthetically pleasing groove pattern on

the grips. It is a durable, three-piece

design that will stand rigorous use over

time and is considered ideal for both one

and two-handed combat.

Specs: 11” in length

(12” - high profile pommel)

Sound capable: Yes

The Graflex CE is the Original Lightsaber design and a classic favorite. It has great grip,

a covertec wheel, a removable pommel, and a switch activation box to the electrical

pins. It will not only make for an excellent collectible piece, but it is also sturdy enough

for dueling. You’ll be ready for combat right out of the box as this saber comes

completely assembled.

Specs: 11.125” in length,

1.55” maximum width

Sound capable: Yes

The Archon v2.1 is a combat-ready

saber that is built with high quality

aircraft aluminum. It is a durable, five-

piece design with a highly pronounced

flanged emitter with a classic skinny

neck. There are deep groove patterns

on the grips, and the pommel is wide

with deep landings, which makes for a

sturdy feel in the hand.

Specs: 12” in length (12.375” including the neck)

Sound capable: Yes

The Dark Liberator battle saber has a

unique and elegant appeal. This well-

balanced saber is both lightweight and

durable. The pommel gives it balance

because it is counter-weighted to bring

the balance towards the hilt. The hilt is

concaved in the middle to increase

comfort when holding the saber.

Specs: 11.625” in length, 1.42”

maximum width

Sound capable: Yes

The Dominix LE v3 has two

choke points on the hilt to

make it great for both one

and two-handed combat. It

can be used as a main hand

or off hand weapon. The

ability to remove the

pommel is new to this

version of the Dominix.

Specs: 12.25” in length, 1.45” maximum width

Sound capable: Yes

Summary

Not all lightsabers are crafted for use in a duel. While there are many considerations to take in building a dueling saber, the hilt is the base from which to build upon, along with a heavy grade blade. From there, any number of styles, blade colors, and sound can be added to finalize the full effect of the saber.
