51TH Commando V4.5 by LDM

51TH Commando v4.5

This is the 4th saber, redone to v4.5 in my Sith Commando Series.  When I listed the last one (the V3) it sold on Fx and then 15 minutes later...on my site another person wanted to buy it, so I made this one to satisfy the demand.  Unfortunately for me, the buyer backed out and now I have a completed saber with no home.  Like the V3, this one was built expressly for durability (uni-body design) but stays true to the angular design of it's forbears.  The entire series are hilts meant to be used by Sith "Troopers"...a standard issue saber if you will.  This one is also powder coated all in matte black with a few copper accents (choke, custom switch and pommel insert) to give it some flow.  The v4.5 diverges from the V3 & V4, in that the grip is no longer the inlaid cross-hashed grip material used on fishing poles. It now bears an all new product for me, and once that I have not seen used by anyone else, the Copper Faux Leather Wrap.  Yep, the leather is actually copper in color.  It is awesome and will start to show up relatively frequently in builds moving forward.  It is exceptionally soft and comfortable to hold.  Can you tell I love it?  The "clamp-band" is knurled, but it is subtle.  This hilt is "similar to" but not an "exact replica" of the V3.  The previous Sabers in this series have had "sithly-colored" blades like red and sulfurous yellow.  This one is TruPurple, just like the V3...and I finished it off with a matching purple Crystal Pommel. 

The Particulars:

Custom Machined uni-body hilt
Powder Coating in Matte black
Crystal Shard V1 with Sekrogue 1985's Brawler
TruPurpleTM LED with Cyan FoC
3.7V battery pack
2W Speaker
Custom Machined pommel insert
Crystal PommelTM, in Purple
Inlaid Copper Faux Leather wrap grip
Custom Copper colored latching switch
Copper nugget kill key

The BMT:



The Glams:









The FoC:

So this saber says many a thing.

Dueler...
The whole package.

The new owner is going to have a great piece, indeed.

As the owner of this saber's predecessor, I can say that this is indeed a very fine saber! Whoever is going to buy this saber is going to really have a fun time with it.

Your questions are answered in your post ;)  Also, I am not sure if I mentioned htis or not, but the saber does indeed include that copper colored kill key pictured.  Although it is not "overly" fancy, I use this type frequently in my personal sabers and charge $8 when people want them...and by free, I don't mean "added into the price"  I really mean free.  :D

That hilt with a 30" blade would be a nice size for your stature.  Maybe Caine will chime in, he is like 5'9". (no ballz bustin bro, just figured you would have an opinion on this ;) )

LDM, you are my new best friend...because I am 5'5"  ;)  Got me 4" taller, eh? SCORE! LOL!!

Seriously, the 30" blade will be perfect for you, WetOkole (that is the size blade I use...between 30" and 32".)
