Very nice hilt. I love your weathering on the hilt with this gold accent.

... and I'm quite jealous to see you managed to use those anti vandal switches without having to do an activation box. How did you do ? Did you cut the switch ?

[wookieecrisp]

That's a sick hilt. I love  the weathering!  ;) :)  8) :o

[Jasher Kain]

You can fit any any of the 16mm anti-vandals in an MHS hilt. You may have to bend the pins and make sure you isolate the current, as the switch may be touching the bottom of the hilt.

Here is one of the standard Bulgin ones, that are sold at TCSS, in a 1.25 sink-tube saber:

This is another hilt I put one in, although this switch is different:

Very sweet!  I love the anti-vandal on the mount!   ;D

[Orakaa]

Hmm, I have to talk to Do-Clo about the custom saber he's doing to me...

[Darth Matth]

I'n not that into the weathering stuff.
But I have to say, that it fits this saber very well.
I like the UB2 in it very much, it's well suited in this hilt.

YES, a very nice saber you have there my friend.

Nicely done! I like the weathering, not too extreme. The gold accent is nice, and I really like the narrow choke and emitter! Really says "Sith".

Kinky....  very kinky.

My question (since I haven't seen one before) is what exactly is an anti-vandal switch??

It looks stunningly beautiful lit-up, but besides that, is there a specific purpose for using one???

Anti-vandal switches can generally be used at the entrance of building, on public machines/distributors, etc.

The thing it that the button, when put inside a machine, doesn't stick out : thus, you can't break it. You can only push the button then.

The problem is that those switches are quite deep/long
