Found myself in a tricky situation recently that calls for some tough choices. This is one of my unicorn hilts, I had BIG plans for it that just aren't going to happen anytime soon. I hate seeing this hilt sit around so I am trying to pass it on to a good home.
This is an empty JK-Sabers TFU Starkiller 2013 Elite Edition. Only 4 of these were made in 2013, I believe. It is a unique SK rendition, featuring graflex elements such as the glass eye and red button that are not seen on every SK hilt. It is a weathered version from JK, and he does an excellent job with his painting/weathering. The construction of this hilt is possibly the best of any hilt I have ever owned. Every detail was well thought out and precisely implemented. JK's machine work is top notch, you really just have to hold this saber to truly appreciate the quality of the craftsmanship. The detail and even the sheer weight of this hilt are incredible. You can find a review, more pictures and a comparison to the Simply Props Starkiller
here!The saber has a very sturdy and well made crystal chamber with a real quartz crystal. Plenty of room to install an accent LED in there. I had plans to install a CFv7.5 and CEx with MH, so any other skilled smith should be able to get that setup installed! The saber breaks down into three separate parts to make for an easy install. I had plans to create an internal reveal chassis with mesh, brass and copper accents similar to some of the work Darth Ryo, Industrial Action and Arryck Corso have done.
The graflex style blade plug is really well made and will be included with the hilt. There is also a small plaque that comes with this hilt. I am trying to locate it at the moment but rest assured, if I do not find it at the time of purchase I will gladly ship it at my own expense to the buyer once I track it down (I am in between apartments right now but will be settled next week, so it will turn up soon).

I cannot emphasize how amazing this Starkiller rendition is. I researched precisely what I wanted in my TFU hilt for months before deciding that this was the way to go. I know I will regret selling my baby but I will be very happy if it goes to a good home and gets turned into a fully-functional saber. This hilt is very very limited and you don't see them come up often.
I am asking
SOLD via payment plan for this empty saber. That is a less than what I paid + shipping from Germany, so this is a steal. I also have lots of different sizes of brass and copper piping that I was planning to use that can be included for a little extra, along with the mesh. These parts aren't super expensive but I spent a lot of time tracking them down. If you are interested in any of this extra stuff just reach out and we can work something out :)
I will be accepting PayPal payments only as a gift/family and friends or as payment for goods + 3.5% for the fees. I will ship CONUS USPS Priority with $50 insurance. Additional insurance coverage is to be requested and paid by the buyer. International buyers are welcome but they must pay the full amount in USD and pay actual shipping + any customs fees.
Thanks everyone for looking. I really hope this hilt can be taken to a good home from someone here on the boards. MTFBWY
