I've seen it done a few times on various different versions of Maul-inspired hilts, though not specifically on a Korbanth DM1. It might be a little more structurally sound on the older 2012(?) run of DM1s as the radiators on those looked machined, rather than cast like on the 2014 run. Don't think anyone would dare to do this to an Awesomesauce X11000, though
