The Paladin, Jedi Knight Logan's Custom Saber
« on: December 24, 2008, 12:25:07 PM »
This saber is a Christmas gift for Jedi Knight Logan from Je-Rel Drood!

Je-Rel Drood asked Master Jedye and I to build a saber for JK Logan as a gift, and really gave us quite a bit of room to work the design. She stated the blade was to be blue and he likes chrome, but don't overdo it. ;D ;D ;D

Master Jedye and I quickly got work on a design and came up with what is pictured below, The Paladin.

It has a Royal Blue LUX3 LED driven  by an Obi Wan Master Replicas sound board. The rib section is a custom piece machined by by Dagobah Jedi specifically for this saber, ...the ribs are smaller, thinner and not quite as deep as a standard MHS part.

It features a Silver vein powder coated hilt and a Salem series hand grip with a new original shroud piece, again, made specifically for Jedi Knight Logan. I wanted something that leaned towards a true Knight's hilt, ...something that would be useful, dignified and revered. Something honorable. The hilt should speak of it's owner. I hope this one has done that.

Je-Rel, thank you for allowing us to build a saber you intend to present as a gift. Jedi Knight Logan, we hope you like it and put it to good use.

Merry Christmas to both of you,


and here are some Pictures!!! Yay! ;)















And the video, ....pay no attention to how many times I say rib section, .....rib section, ...it's got a custom rib section, yeah we got that.



Well, ...that's it. Jedi Knight Logan, it was a pleasure to craft you a saber. SURPRISE!!
Je-Rel Drood, ...many thanks for trusting MJ and I with your gift to JK Logan, we are privileged.

JK Logan,
This was a fun build and I REALLY hope you enjoy it.
It was an honor to make a saber for someone who we truly admire.

Je-Rel,
Thank you for trusting us with this project.   It was awesome to help with this saber.  JKL is a lucky person to have such a great friend!

Quick post:  More to come, but just to show how strong the Force is with this saber:

quote from wikipedia on the topic of Paladin:
In the late 1950s and early 1960s an American television series, "Have Gun – Will Travel," starred Richard Boone as a "knight without armor" called "Paladin". y'all look at JK's sig.

another quote from wiki:
paladin characters are typically skilled in melee swordfighting, possess healing powers, and are generally depicted as holy swordsmen who fight for justice. The paladin typically has the role of a preserver, protector or exorcist in game universes.

Have Gun Will Travel reads the card of a man.
A knight without armor in a savage land.

His fast gun for hire head's the calling wind.
A soldier of fortune is the man called Paladin.

Thank you guys, ...and girls for the compliments. I have since added a switch inline to turn the sound off, ...It's still IN the hilt and unscrewing the pommel is still needed but at least now it is a LITTLE easier.
I got some final checking to do, ...but this should in the mail today or tomorrow.

thanks again.

One last video, I made this today before I reboxed it to ship, ....it just kinda explains the battery pack and sound shut off feature.
Also to show what your blade would look like with an UltraEdge Blade. I know u like blue blades and the UltraEdge really does that color some justice!! This was film in natural light with overhead chandelier on, ...so the house is well lit!!

Again, ..thank you all for the kind words, JK Logan, ....let us know when it arrives and we'll wait patiently to hear from you,
