Thanks Hang Tauh Kenobi, the balance does feel a little off, it is definately not as balnced as the AAnakin ROTS, BUT it is not bad, the hil is big enough to wield with two hands. i am fine just having the half i dont see it necessary yet to buy another to complete it is a great saber just as the half in my opinion. the only thing is it has no lower grip ormmel so sometimes you feel like it is gonna slip out. but overall its a great saber even as the half.
