Initium Novum
A New Beginning
This saber started its' life as a SaberForge Epoch I received from a fellow forum member. Every inch of the saber has been altered in some way. This is no show queen saber, this is a true Jedi weapon. The blade extends into the emitter a full 5 inches so it is, to say the least, dual-able.
This saber has a bit of a back story, my wife is working on for me. To make a long story short, this saber was taken from a stricken down Sith Lord by Ducos Rossis. In the battle, his saber was damaged so he altered the Sith's weapon with usable parts from his saber to suit his needs. Hence the name, Initium Novum (A New Beginning). Any ways... on to the goodies!!!

Everything on this saber has been a "go with the flow" kind of attitude. Essentially, I let the Force guide me on the construction of this saber. And I'd say it worked out well! Some ideas came from various influences such as the k3gr1 and slothfurnace's work. I'm sure it's apparent who's stuff influenced me; and to those people... thank you for doing what you do. Ok enough chat... SHOW ME THE GOOD STUFF!!!!
