51TH Commando PV in Oxidium for Chad I.

This nice guy saw Simpi's Commando on Youtube and wanted one like it.  I don't know if it comes through on the pix, but this thing looks like an antique.  Best Oxidium weathering ever.  It has a Crystal Pommel, green ring AV and CT wheel.  The Aux switch is hidden (inside with the SD card).  Finished her off with a Faux leather inlaid grip. 

Particulars:
51TH Commando PV hilt
Triple-baked Oxidium Weathering
CSv2 with Nightstorm's JK2 Outcast and Remnant
Green Blade w/VioletIce FoC and VioletIce Blade w/green FoC (9W RGB)
3.7v Li-ion
CT wheel & Faux Leather grip
Machined Resonance and Easy Spin

This Oxidium is like a magnet for my wallet. Every time I see one of these sabers I check my wallet.

Dang these things are beautiful! The simplicity of design matched with the coloring of the weathering!

That is some beautiful oxidium weathering and the that grip really sets it off.  My favorite of your commandos I've seen thus far.

There is an accent LED in the pommel. LDM calls that technique a "crystal pommel". There is not actually a crystal there.

To be a bit more accurate...a Crystal PommelTM actually does indeed have a crystal.  What most people now do, and as a result the term has come to encompass both, is simply add the LED.  I have typically called it a Faux Crystal Pommel when I do it htis way.  That is also the reason that I have 2 different prices on my pricelist...

Huh. I did not know this, and I thought I had seen a proper crystal pommel, lol.

Sorry for the misinformation on my part. Everyone listen to what LDM said above ^  ^-^

Not a problem ;)  Most people don't want true CP's nowadays because they mess with resonance.  If you don't have a True Reverse SoundTM saber, I would go with a Faux CP.
