"Mjölnir" by Cordaroyfog
« on: July 12, 2011, 08:15:28 AM »
I had the idea for this saber sometime last year but it took a while to come together. Sometimes I am more interested in weapons and special objects than the characters that wield them, and this is a good example. I could take or leave Thor in Marvel comics and like him much better in mythology but, such a unique and awesome weapon like his hammer grabs my attention. I love how it came out and hope you enjoy the pics and video.

I had a lot of help on this, my thanks goes out to Ari-jaq xulden who did the suede grips, Arkhan who did the kill key, and MH for the install and wiring.


SPECS:

MHS Parts (measures 14.75" without kill key)
Petit Crouton w/NecroVolt
Blue P4 LED
2 Li-Ion 14500 with in-hilt recharge port
Custom suede leather grips (by Ari-jaq xulden)
Custom Lightening Bolt kill key (by Arkhan)
Custom Lightening Box laser etched on box
2 x White accent LEDs in pommel
Illuminated Blue Ring Switch
Hidden Aux switch under top grip

The leather wraps look great inset into the hilt.  I also like the lightning bolt on the switch box. Is it glowing in the video?

Thanks for the opportunity to provide an accessory for your Mjolnir saber.  I thought that  lightning bolt was going to be the death of me, between the benchtop scrollsaw breaking metal blades and the hand-filing/sanding.

It's a normal P4 blue, which is a very nice lighter blue that I love, so sort of AOTC. Thanks!

Yeah, that is a great shade of blue... my lux V and ledengin 5w have both been darker than that, but blue is still blue i guess.

Man I love this!

This is so awesome because of the thor style you gave it, I could see thor using this instead of his hammer lol.

But I know what this thing finally needs, it needs its own thor boot straight from the thor movie!

I personally like the quote in the movie where thor says "Thats more like it!"

Heres my video on how to make boots for CF and PC

I think the lightning bolt on the box is just picking up the blue of the illuminated switch and/or the blade.

Which I think looks cool.

Nicely done saber. I like it.
